Section 25 "Looking from a Hilltop" (Version 2)

This is an excellent track from the Section 25 ( http://www.section25.com and http://www.myspace.com/section25 ) album "From the Hip" (easily available via iTunes and good CD shops) and one of my favorites of all time. This track had been reworked by Bernard Sumner (New Order) and A Certain Ratio drummer Donald Johnson (aka DoJo) as the single on FAC 108 (Factory Records release). Other releases of this song, the much extended "Restructure" and "Megamix" versions met with considerable success, particularly on import in the US, where Hilltop broke as a club hit in New York. The single also received extensive airplay, and succeeded in crossing over to black and Hot Mix stations in the Chicago area (as well as being a big hit in clubs like Medusa's and Orbit Room). Hilltop was also sampled by both The Shamen (1992) and Orbital (1993).

they just don't make music like this these days. made in 1984 and still as great 27 years later. this version (from the album: from the hip) is good but the (Restructure) and (Megamix) from the 12" are way better.
