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).

  • Fucking AHEAD OF ITS TIME!

  • Another native Houstonian here longing for the days of NRG, Red Square, #s, Homage, Rich's and 6400. Numbers still does a great 80s night and I can almost still smell the cloves.

Mad props to the both of them! at least they're freed from all the terrible music that were bombarded with these days! RIP
