Release Notes:
The Durutti Column follow-up 2006's Keep Breathing
with a brand new album, Idiot Savants. Written and
played by Vini Reilly, with drums and percussion
from the Guru himself, Bruce Mitchell. The Durutti
Column emerged from the late 70s Manchester punk
scene and has remained one of the most intriguing,
enigmatic (and arguably under appreciated) acts in
the country. The band name is derived from a 60s
anarchist movement. - an anarchist group in Europe
who published a book with a sandpaper cover so that
it would destroy all the other books on the shelves.
He borrowed the practice of using sandpaper as a
packaging medium, until record shops forced him to
stop, fed up of the stock surrounding the Durutti
Column being destroyed. Despite the tremendous
critical acclaim that greeted his music, Vini Reilly
seldom performed live during the early 1980s. The
days of gigging with Joy Division were over and Vini
became a virtual recluse. However his reputation
grew and by the 90s Durutti Column's legendary
status made them a cult attraction all over the
world, a position they maintain to this day.
