No mention of other 4ad artists in that write up though, but I imagine that might come in with The Cocteau's story. I purchased the book Facing The Other Way: The story of 4ad a while back, but I still haven't got round to reading it yet.

Clips from the Play At Home doc, Saville ,Factory, The Smiths , Cocteau Twins, C86, JAMC and beyond into the late 80s and KLF, Acid House, The Hac, Tony Wilson and the Mondays.I was giddy from it all bringing back the memories of them heady days.Phew! We'll draw a veil and overlook the unfortunate inclusion of PWL and Pete Waterman though eh? Indie Classics at the BBC on now.

Been a good series overall though.A very watchable history of many of the "Indie" bands and labels from the late 70s to today.

Yeah, I switched it off half way through, it was to be expected though that the series would peter out when it reached the mid nineties I suppose. The indie scene lost it's way a little for me after the shoegazing era.

Apparently not. Or has it been reconstructed as a museum? Even had a view of the loo, paintwork was easyjet orange, Mike Pickering I think talking about the bad timing of buying the Hac premises. Restless lyrics at the end on subtitles werent quite the same as what I imagined them to be.

It became The Paradise Factory in the early nineties, was left dormant for a while, then Peter Hook turned it into Fac251. Synonymous with the Factory name of the Hulme club on Royce Road. The Haçienda is now....The Haçienda apartment block. They had an anniversary do in 2012 in the underground car park to mark the 30 years. Most current Haçienda nights are now currently held in The Albert Hall... In Manchester that is.

Restless lyrics at the end on subtitles werent quite the same as what I imagined them to be. Yeah when i watched it Friday night the end images with the soundtrack of Restless kind of had the message that if you take risks you can change things which chimed with what i always thought the line in Restless is; "It's not hopeless/If you take risks" but having seen your post i looked up that bit of the programme again and turned subtitles on and it was "It's not hopeless/if you take rest" So i guess that must be the lyric then but i just don't get it.Things aren't hopeless if you take a rest? "take risks" makes far more sense to me. Edited by user 18 October 2015 02:34:42(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

Which shows the line “Ain’t got no interest“ in a different light and - no, only kidding!

"take risks" makes far more sense to me. I didn't read that much into it. I suspect they played Restless because it's a current track from an important "indie" group. Certain the line is " It's not hopeless if you take less." As in don't be so fucking greedy.
