Bis - FACT 2002 EP [OSC 004 UK 2002 24-Bit FLAC] A new 2019 24-bit rip using the new deck & set-up. I've kept the levels comfortably below -1db so you can blast this out at your preferred volume with no distortion. The FACT2002 EP was a 4 track limited 12" 33rpm vinyl released as a tribute to Factory Records by Glaswegian techno-pop band, Bis. They covered four of the best known bands on Factory, with thumping techno-disco versions of Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division), Hurt (New Order), Shack Up (A Certain Ratio) and Looking From a Hilltop (Section 25). Of all the tracks the cover of Hurt works best as New Order's early electronic indie dance gets a serious techno work-over. I just can't get into the cover of Shack Up and their version of LWTUA is more like Kraftwerk with Stephen Hawkins guesting on vocals, but it does end nicely with Mandy's untreated backing vocals and some lovely keyboard melodies.

Bis ‎– Eurodisco (Dance Mixes) [WIJ 86TR UK 1998 24-Bit FLAC] Nineties indie-pop darlings go all 1983 with Eurodisco in four mixes. The LRD mix is worth the cost of a download as it borrows heavily from everything Vince Clarke ever did, and the original version is quite good, however the other mixes are really dull and deserve nothing more than bargain bin disposal. Enjoy! A1 Eurodisco (Les Rythmes Digitales Remix) A2 Eurodisco (DJ Scissorkicks Remix) B1 Eurodisco (Klute 'Polka' Mix) B2 Eurodisco (Original)
