24 Hour Service Station » Posts

Today, February 20th 2010, would have been Anthony H. Wilson's 60th birthday. The founder of fiercely independent English label Factory Records was the impetus for Marshall Dickson to establish his American label, 24 Hour Service Station. In honor of this special occasion, a 32 track collection of New Order covers is being released: Ceremony - A New Order Tribute. Two additional collections of songs not included on the two CD set are being made available via Digital release, Ceremony - The Digital Album & Twelve Versions Of Ceremony.

Former New Order bassist Peter Hook, a patron of the charity this release benefits, The Sallford Foundation Trust's Tony Wilson Award, says:


“To see so many indie bands interested in replicating the work of New Order as a tribute to Tony and to help raise funds for Salford Foundation Trust so that it can continue its fine work with young people is just fantastic. Through the Trust’s Tony Wilson Award, young people can access grants that can help them to pursue music, drama, dance and the creative arts."

Five new tracks from Pocket (aka Burnside Project’s Richard Jankovich). The A-side, Backwards from Ten features Menomena’s Danny Seim, whose voice glides above a production that’s downright anthemic. In contrast, “Echo and Sway” is bouncy and jaunty, with unmistakable vocals from Sal Principato, of post-punk-funk legends Liquid Liquid. - Other Music

Also includes three remixes of Backwards from Ten from Grant B, Duplex 100 & Learning Music.

This is POCKET's 7th release for his Singles Project featuring a "Dream List" of legendary vocalists to collaborate with.
