CD3 runs from New Order's breakbeat/hip-hop masterpiece 'Confusion' (FAC93) from 1983 through to Happy Monday's mission statement '24 Hour Party People' (FAC192) from 1987...
CD3 continues the dancey theme of CD2 but stretches the boundaries with elements of hip-hop (Confusion), jazz (Kalima's 'Trickery') and funk (Stockholm Monsters horns sounding like an early blueprint for The Go!Team.) The interludes from the dance numbers are quite wonderful - from the beautiful piano/violin duet of The Durutti Column's 'A Little Mercy' to the spritely James single 'Hymn from a village'. CD3 closes with New Order ('Fine Time') and Happy Mondays - a symbolic passing of the baton with Madchester just around the corner...
