Hacienda Classical (CD)

The team behind legendary Manchester club FAC 51 The Haçienda releases a full 'Haçienda Classiçal' album, following the unprecedented success of a series of national events throughout 2016. Haçienda Classiçal has seen Graeme Park and Mike Pickering, the original DJs behind the unique Haçienda sound, spin club classics in full harmony with the Manchester Camerata Orchestra. The resulting collision of seminal dance music and orchestral instrumentation has breathed new life into club anthems such as 'Blue Monday', 'Voodoo Ray', 'Good Life' and 'Ride On Time'. Other tracks featured on the album include 'Strings of Life', 'Move Your Body' and a stunning new take on 'You Got The Love' with vocals from the AMC Choir and special guests. The classical-meets-club concept was an instant success as many thousands immediately snapped up tickets to shows at London's Royal Albert Hall and Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, all selling out in minutes. With many requests for a recorded version of the concert, this studio album has been exec. Produced by The Haçienda, Joy Division and New Order co-founder Peter Hook, together with producer Phil Murphy. The release of this innovative and eagerly anticipated album will allow fans to enjoy the Haçienda Classiçal experience as a recording for the very first time.
