what you hear here are often modern revisions of core tracks from that hacienda adventure- spruced up and re-energised by true believers- along with appropriate contemporary creations in the spirit of. they are admissable evidence in the case against a suffocatingly narrow nostalgia for the same twenty odd 'classics' which say nothing about the widescreen ambition of the club at its best.
