MARTIN HANNETT & STEVE HOPKINS - VINYL ALL SORTS OF HEROES [VINYL]

Popis - ALL SORTS OF HEROES [VINYL]:
Recorded in 1976 by Invisible Girls' Steve Hopkins and Martin Hannett for a truly bizarre stop-motion animation called 'All Sorts Of Heroes', this hard edged funk instrumental theme reveals another side to this versatile production team joining the hidden dots between Hannett's own discoid experiments with ESG, Gyro, A Certain Ratio and the mythical Afro Express recordings from the same year. Embodying as much in common with 1970s bass heavy European funk soundtracks by bands like Goblin and Placebo, as the expected parallels with John Cooper-Clarke's backing tracks or early Happy Mondays, this early 1976 session is the perfect example of Hannett and Hopkins' under-the-radar artistic commissions working to a storyboard brief in what has now become recognised as a fertile arena for lost filmic funk.
