The dance community already owes New Order a significant amount of respect and praise for the band's contributions, but few casual fans of dance music realize just how much the group fostered the club scene in the U.K. during the '80s and '90s. Case in point: the Haçienda, a nightclub largely founded by Factory Records owner Tony Wilson. The money from New Order's record sales helped to keep the club afloat, especially during the early years when acts such as Cabaret Voltaire would only fill half the floor. As the club grew and the explosion of electronic dance music from the U.S. infiltrated the other side of the pond, the Haçienda's club nights became the place to see the newest dance acts and hear the latest sounds played by DJs. This two-disc set covers some of the most well-known dancefloor fillers of the time, including Yazoo's "Situation," Peech Boys' "Don't Make Me Wait," and Detroit techno anthems such as Cybotron's "Clear" and Derrick May's "Nude Photo." Complete with astonishingly detailed liner notes, this is a must-have for anyone who wants to experience the best the club had to offer as well as a wonderful souvenir for those lucky enough to live through the madness the first time around.

Hello Stephen New Link Up & Running
Hi, This is stange... When I place the cursor on "Various Discotheque Volume 1 The Hacienda" at the bottom left on my screen I can see the Mediafire link details. However when I click on the link I then get this message: https://www.mediafire.com/error.php?errno=388&quickkey=ch75c21pwlwvmgg&origin=download ans also this: "White Lines (Don't Do It) [Long Version]" by Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel may be available for download from Amazon.
Could you re-up please as I would very much like to hear this. Thank you.
Hello Miguel New Link Up & Running
Thank you very much Aid00.
Just playing the second disc now. Brings back some memories that's for sure. Why did times have to change?
