Centered around the legendary nightclub the Hacienda, the evolution of Manchester, England's clubbing culture from punk's birth to the exuberant late-'80s, drug-addled "Madchester" scene is documented by 24 Hour Party People. As would be expected from a movie celebrating the rise of beat-oriented bands, the soundtrack reads like a who's who of Manchester's punk, postpunk, and dance acts. The dour, minimalist bass lines and desolation of Joy Division blurred into New Order's rhythmic mix of icy dance-floor desire and sorrow after JD vocalist Ian Curtis's suicide in 1980. Each group has their best songs included, as do Happy Mondays, their hypnotic, party-heavy beats and gospel-tinged revelry sounding fresh even today. While not as mainstream, a cut by gentle soulful noodlers the Durutti Column and serene comedown anthems from acid-house legends 808 State and A Guy Called Gerald are also gems. Even better, the two new New Order songs--an apocalyptic take on JD's "New Dawn Fades" with Moby on vocals, and the ultra-clubby Technique-flavored "Here to Stay"--fit in seamlessly. It's likely that fans of these bands already possess most songs included, but Party People is the ultimate snapshot of these eras, a mix tape of artifacts worth revisiting, or experiencing for the first time. --Annie Zaleski

1 out of 5 stars 4/18 of Madchester.......2006-08-24

I saw the movie a few years back, enjoyed it, and recently bought the sound track.... What a disappointment! As I listened to the sound track, I realized yet again that Joy Division WAS Madchester and all the other tracks (with the possible exception of the New Order tracks) are just filler. The no-name bands are awful. Without Joy Division there would be no 24 Hour Party People worth remembering. So I wish I had bought a Joy Division album instead of this.

5 out of 5 stars The CD With It All.......2005-04-27

This CD puts you in the thick of all that was good in Manchester late 70's to early 90's. Put it on and have a party.

5 out of 5 stars Party People.......2004-04-20

The first part of the movie focuses on the band Joy Division and the history of Factory Records. While the movie featured several JD songs, we have the meat here: "Transmission" is their first great song, "New Dawn Fades" is them at their heaviest, "Atmosphere" is their most transcendent (although maybe some members were only concerned with the human sphere), "She's Lost Control" is their first great single and defined Manchester early on, and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" is their most famous song, and their only really positive song, since it contains emotion and the concept of love.

Manchester is known for its cold humor and lack of sentimentality. Right after lead singer Ian Curtis killed himself, they formed New Order, which became one of the most popular bands of the time. His death is the end of chapter one of the story. Soon Ecstasy and dance took hold. Where punk gave us a bleak vision of the world, almost post-nuclear, the rave scene, "Madchester" as it was called, combined rock, drugs and dance. This blueprint has survived to cyber raves down the road from you with Sasha & Digweed. The inclusion of New Order tracks that were more danceable, and A Guy Called Gerald, Happy Mondays, and 808 State are reminders who are the originators. I was 15 years old when Joy Division started and about 27 when "Pacific State" came out and when Happy Mondays collapsed, so this is like the soundtrack to my youth. There are some obscure bands like The Duritti Column represented, but lost are Magazine, The Fall, and A Certain Ratio, who figure more in the movie. But most of that is nit-picking. The movie is great. The soundtrack to the movie is better.

5 out of 5 stars Can't imagine a better compilation.......2004-02-29

I normally hate compilations. Hate the concept, hate the low-down commercial intent. BUT this is BRILLIANT. Even if you haven't seen the film, don't know who Tony Wilson is, don't know/care where Manchester is... just buy this compilation. It's a totally inspiring (and challenging) snapshot of an amazing period in British music. Other reviews have pointed out that it's not 'comprehensive' in that it's missing anything by the Stone Roses, but that's irrelevant when you have 18 amazing songs here.

5 out of 5 stars Where's the beef, Alf?.......2003-08-19

I'm afraid Alfonso Lozada has missed the point. The film is about a span of time in the life of one person, Tony Wilson, and is thus structured around his experiences. At the same time, the film is not a documentary but a fictionalized account. On top of all this, the "Tony" character does mention the short shrift the Stone Roses get. Is it really a surprise to find the soundtrack album bereft of artists which did not appear in the film?

5 out of 5 stars Rock and Roll History.......2005-01-16

Well, I was in high school and in Northern California when A Guy Called Gerald released "Voodoo Ray" and that one didin't make it to us. Man. But, New Order did as well as a general idea that punk had evolved in a few certain ways in a few certain places. That particular "Manchester a la Detroit" evolution turned out to be dance music. Well. When this finnally, in the very early ninties made its full imapct felt in our neck of the woods....there was NO TURNING BACK. NO. THERE WAS NO GOING BACK. My poor saxophone tutor. Incedently if you email me I would be happy to point you towards my album. www.garageband.com/artist/bioutopia
Oh..yes the CD. Music history and nothing less.

5 out of 5 stars 15 Years of Mancunian History.......2002-08-31

"What is a soundtrack album?" asks Tony Wilson's liner notes in this CD, before discussing this question at length, for over a page. The important thing to keep in mind about this album is that it is a soundtrack album. Compared to what passes for a soundtracks nowadays, in big-budget Hollywood, this is probably the best of the year.

Having bought the CD before seeing the movie, I was disappointed by the inclusion of several songs by some bands to the exclusion of other deserving bands, but it wouldn't be a souvenir of the movie if it didn't include the songs that were central to it. At first glance it seems as though some big names from the New Wave/Madchester era are missing, such as Magazine and the Smiths, but neither of these groups were central or even peripheral to the movie, as were Joy Division and the Happy Mondays. (Despite the inclusion of several New Order tracks, the movie lost track of them right after their reformation). Both groups are well represented here, the three Joy Division songs are arguably their finest moments and they alone make the album essential.

Apart from the stellar representation of the central groups, the additional tracks are more than worthwhile. Included are fine tracks by lesser known artists A Guy Called Gerald and The Duretti Column, which serve as samplers of the groups themselves as well as the "British House" music scene. It also gets off to a killer start with the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK" and the Buzzcocks' "Ever Fallen In Love".

At worst, this album is a crass corporate grab at sentimental moviegoers' money. At best, it's as fine a compilation "mix tape" one could hope for from the Madchester scene.
