Factory Records: SECTION 25
Influential Blackpool-based band that began as a post-punk outfit before embracing electronic music with dance leanings.
Their key recordings include the U.S. crossover club-hit 'Looking From a Hilltop' (FAC 108) and the albums 'Always Now' (FACT 45) and 'From the Hip' (FACT 90).
After issuing their final Factory release in 1988, the album "Love and Hate" (FACT 160), Section 25 went on hiatus until regrouping in 2001 and recording albums such as 'Part Primitiv' and 'Nature and Degree' for the LTM label.
