Otis by The Durutti Column
“Vini Reilly, was also a pioneer with regards to sampling in an ostensibly rock context. His Factory label boss, mentor, and best friend Tony Wilson famously discouraged Vini’s use of vocals in Durutti Column recordings, feeling he was far better at literally every aspect of music creation than singing. This obviously contributed to his daring and invigorating use of sampling (and later, frequent female guest vocalists), highlighted by this brilliant piece from the centre of his eponymous Vini Reilly LP, released in 1989. A rising arpeggio gives way to a typically gorgeous guitar ramble before the song slides into perfection with recontextualized phrases from Otis Redding‘s Pain In My Heart and Tracy Chapman‘s heartbreaking Behind The Wall and cements its place in any hypothetical Top 10 Durutti Column countdown.”
