Yeah, as you say, I was restricted to Brotherhood because of the whole "25" thing - but I think it's more of a documentary about the cracks beginning to show. To be honest, it was just an excuse to get Johnny and Bernard talking about Electronic. You're quite right about it being an average album - and i thought it was refreshing to hear them admit as much.

Sounds like a different mix.
Radio seems to do that at times for some reason. The programme producer beefs it up? Remember hearing TBTHOG for the first time on John Peel and it was storming. Then when i bought the vinyl it didn't sound so urgent and lively.
I think it's the radio studio amplifiers that enhance the sound.
I was surprised to hear Hooky say that Sumner told him that he thought Hooky's worst bassline was in All Day Long.
I love that basswork! Reminds me of the epic bass in Lonesome Tonight as well -
Or was Sumner just trying to piss him off?
Cause, come on, that All Day Long bass is just awesome -

I used to have an old C60 of Kid Jensen playing the Village. He had the prime-time Radio One slot (8-10pm?) in the early 80's, right before Peely's.
The bass on that was just mind-blowing. I kept it for years before finally wearing it out. The vinyl Village never ever matched the taped version I had.

Hi, I'm Sam the programme producer for Xfm - been watching this thread to see if anyone liked the "Brotherhood" doc! Thanks for your interest. Just wanted to say, yes - i did "beef up" the WFTSC tracks, but not much. They're just 192 Kbps mp3's off the original CD - with the volume pushed up, and a bit of compression added. Some of the older tracks / live stuff's of dodgy quality- but the actual Brotherhood stuff are FLAC files.
Hi Sam
Well done on a great feature on Brotherhood. Very well put together and I really enjoyed. As I did when xfm did the programme on Total.
Yes, really well put together, most enjoyable. Don't understand the comments about it being a weak album, just shows there are a lot of New Order dance fans here, as opposed to appreciating the New order that combined rock with dance music.
I do agree that 'Brotherhood' on cd, doesn't quite flow the same, would be interesting to see what fans think would be a better CD running order than the LP concept.
In my opinion, it's a great album, I play it all the time.
Yeah, I've always liked this LP, always thought it was miles better than the vastly overrated 'Low-Life'

Many thanks for replying, Sam. Helpful and interesting to have some insight from you.
Yep really enjoyed the programme. The Brotherhood and WFTSC ( and Low Life and others) tracks sounded great. And some great interviews as well.Cheers
