Martin Hannett - Part 1

Trevor Horn is often called the man who invented the 80s, but the same could be said of Martin Hannett. Martin's bleak, austere and (somehow) maximalist vision of rock music resulted in a highly evocative sound that his immediately recognisable. His association with the iconic Factory records nurtured an enduring post-punk scene which remains influential to this day. In this episode we discuss Buzzcocks, Joy Division, New Order, and much much more.
