Martin Hannett - Maverick Producer Genius & Musician

2014 two CD set containing early recordings, productions and interview segments from the genius producer of many Post-Punk classics. The bands and the studio toys and the acoustics of the buildings were the chemical ingredients and what he hoped was that mixing all these up would result in some great chemical reaction. With this release, we have gone back to the roots of Hannett getting involved with Joy Division. Many of the tracks on this set were produced a while before Martin became a director of Factory and the house producer for the label, and for the first time you can hear a collection of tracks in a different genre produced by Martin as well as tracks where both Martin Hannett the musician and Martin the producer /engineer comes to the forefront.
