Section 25 - Friendly Fires Martin Hannett and his sonic panzer production. Beloved by Ian Curtis, to the point that he produced their single "Girls Don't Count." They also appear in the famous post-punk compilation from Factory, with the heroin-infused dub of the beautiful "Dirty Disco." And finally, a seminal hit with "Looking From A Hilltop" (New Order... you know it, right?!). In "Friendly Fires," we can calmly understand both their flair and Martin's: the Section are excellent at crafting the present and future (notice anything reminiscent of the early rough works of Jesus & Mary Chain / MBV...?!) and Martin's mind, years ahead, assembling it all (the reverb of the "electronic blandness" in the last verse is exactly what was needed).
