From the Hip by Section 25

From the Hip is the third album by Blackpool band Section 25, released in 1984. Following on from previous album releases Always Now and The Key of Dreams it marked a major departure in terms of sound and scope. Abandoning their harsh original post-punk sound the group embarked upon a new journey into the realms of electronica and techno, with the help of Bernard Sumner (of New Order) who co-produced the album at Rockfield Studios. The album features subtle yet warm and atmospheric electronic tracks, such as "The Process" and "Inspiration", as well as the techno-style "Looking From A Hilltop" and the lighter synthpop of "Reflection". "Looking From A Hilltop" was remixed by Bernard Sumner and Donald Johnson of A Certain Ratio for single release, with the lengthy "Megamix" version becoming an underground club hit, later sampled by both Orbital and The Shamen, and also described as "legendary" by Pitchfork Media. It was also the first track on Factory Records dance retrospective FAC. Dance.
