The Durutti Column "Idiot Savants" (2007)

Idiot Savants
release date: Jul. 16, 2007
format: digital
[album rate: 3 / 5]

Track highlights: 1. "Better Must Come" - 2. "Interleukin 2 (For Anthony)" (4 / 5) - 3. "Please Let Me Sleep" - 4. "2 Times Nice" - 8. "That Blows My Name Away (For Rachel)"

17th studio album by The Durutti Column issued on Fullfill / Artful Records and produced by Keir Stewart (track 3 produced by Tim Thomas). Before this, The DC released the album Sporadic Three (April 2007, Kooky Records). On this release, Reilly again plays with sampling and electronic but without adding new dimensions or contributing with much else than what at times sounds like versions or improvs of older material, although I really like "Interleukin 2 (For Anthony)".
