Factory Benelux

Factory Benelux is the Belgian counterpart of Factory Records, established in Brussels in 1980 by journalists Michel Duval and Annik Honoré. The label operated under the umbrella of Les Disques Du Crépuscule until 1988. It initially released singles by A Certain Ratio, Durutti Column, and Section 25, which were spare recordings donated by Factory Records. Over the next few years, Factory Benelux exclusively released music from New Order, Crispy Ambulance, The Names, Minny Pops, Cabaret Voltaire, Crawling Chaos, Stockholm Monsters, and The Wake. In addition to pioneering dance singles by Quando Quango and 52nd Street.

Between 1983 and 1986, Factory Benelux mainly focused on European editions of regular Factory releases. This period also saw production work by members of New Order under the name Be Music for artists like Life, Nyam Nyam, Surprize,and Lavolta Lakota. Notably during this time were two complete albums by The Durutti Column: Short Stories for Pauline and Circuses and Bread.

The label stopped releasing new material in 1988 but retained its name for early CD reissues through Crépuscule in the early '90s. In 2012,FBN was revived with James Nice at the helm who previously worked at Crépuscule during the late '80s.The revived F

Scottish indie pop band, initially active between 1981 and 1995. Often compared to New Order at first (they shared the same label, Factory, and toured with them), the band later signed to Sarah Records. After reforming in 2009 the group released a new album.


Factory Benelux presents a special 30th anniversary edition of 'Here Comes Everybody', the highly-regarded second album by Scottish group The Wake, originally released by Factory Records in 1985. The Wake formed in Glasgow in 1981 after singer / guitarist Caesar left Altered Images. Joining Factory the following year, the group toured with New Order and released popular mini-album 'Harmony'. Trailed by sprightly single 'Talk About the Past' in 1984, second album 'Here Comes Everybody' was eventually recorded as a trio, combining dreampop melodies and wistful lyricism typified by standout track 'O Pamela' (later interpreted by artful French new wave covers project Nouvelle Vague). Now remastered for this special edition double disc package, the album is joined on Disc 1 by companion singles 'Talk About the Past' and 'Of the Matter', a radio session, and a previously unreleased dub take of 'Torn Calendar'. Disc 2 combines their final Factory EP 'Something That No-One Else Could Bring' (produced by John Leckie) with no less than seven previously unreleased demos cut between 1988 and 1990, including unheard songs as well as material later re-recorded for Sarah Records.
