Aug 26, 2009 - This is magic - a master at work and Tony on top form as uninformed bumbling interviewer!

SickyHampton Says:

Oct 24, 2009 - Thank you very, very much for putting this up. I am an aspiring amateur studio engineer/wannabe producer and Martin Hannett is a major inspiration for me. It's good to see a snippet of him at work, even if it's only explaining the basics to punters in TV land.

IntellectualAmy Says:

Oct 28, 2009 - This is indeed. I actually saw him once in Manchester in 1982, but he was very drunk in a bar. I was only 18 then. But his method of work was legendary - a brilliant legacy left to many Sound Engineers to follow to this day. But like most briiliant people, the air of self destruction is seldom far away.

Stereolabdream Says:

Oct 28, 2009 - great archive footage. Martin loved his echo!

Oct 29, 2009 - What is this song? Is it Pauline Murray? If so which song? Thanks

princeblackie Says:

Oct 30, 2009 - This is the missing link. While the kids over on the Joy Division channel wring their hands about Ian Curtis and his suicide and the reason and poetic implications, the star crossed lovers were Hannet and Curtis. Too bad Tony is dead, the others will never own up to it. You only have to listen to the music they made!!!!

Nov 4, 2009 - So do I. Great minds eh?

Tatspunk Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - Yep, The Visitor.

siderealxxx Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - I cannot find this track ANYWHERE...! It's not on itunes/spotify/amazon etc at all! Do you know where it can be found?! I'm a CD kinda person, but will settle for anything :-) Cheers

Nov 17, 2009 - @siderealxxx The Visitor is a hard bugger to find. It's on the 10" of A Murray single called "Searching For Heaven", an entirely Hannett release. It might be on the CD rerelease of Murray's eponymous debut album 10 yrs ago. Not sure. Check out the Mr X video on You Tube for another classic Hannett album production. Also Blue In Heaven's Sometimes and The Names "Nightshift".
