Tony Wilson Dies!

Anthony H. Wilson, co-founder of Factory Records, has died of a heart attack yesterday (August 10th) at the age of 57. Wilson is best known for signing legendary bands including Joy Division and New Order to his label, and as owner of the Hacienda nightclub in Manchester. He played a key role in the Madchester scene of the late 1980's and early 1990's, signing the Happy Mondays.

Wilson passed away on this evening in the hospital after suffering a heart attack that his doctor said was unrelated to his recent battle with cancer.

Thanks for Joy Division, the "Factory" , the music. RIP Tony!

Midnight Juggernauts Release Their Debut Album Dystopia

Midnight Juggernauts are an indie-electro-synth group from Melbourne. Their debut album, 'Dystopia', was released in Australia on August 4, 2007, with an international release to follow at a later date. The album was previewed by radio station Triple J as the "Album of the Week". Vincent from the band has provided Triple J with previews for most of the tracks, citing Electric Light Orchestra as one of their influences, a key sound in some of their tracks, particularly “Into the Galaxy”. Singles released by the group include “Raised By Wolves”, “Shadows”, “Road to Recovery” and “Into the Galaxy”.

Instant Hit: The Sound- Contact The Fact

"Contact The Fact" is a song that got me into The Sound. I discovered it while it was a top song on their Last.fm profile list. It was never released as a single and it appeared on the album From The Lions Mouth which was released in 1981 through Korova and WEA records. The album was reissued in 2012 by 1972.

Paul Haig-Electronik Audience

Music has previously always struggled to keep pace with Paul Haig. His 80's angular Edinburgh post-punk outfit Josef K were way ahead of their time, influencing numerous contemporary bands (most notably Franz Ferdinand). His last few solo releases too - the Cinematique albums - were eminently futuristic.

On Electronik Audience it’s Haig that seems to be playing catch up though. Resembling a bunch of dodgy early 90's house anthems - all flimsy processed beats and ambient synths - much of this record simply sounds dated. Only "Reason" and "Thieves" show real flashes of inspiration, their sneering vocals suggesting - frustratingly, if nothing else - that the trailblazing old punk is actually still in him, somewhere. ~Malcolm Jack
