Theres also section25.com, They've got some new songs up there which are
pretty good because they sound like old songs :-)
From the hip is an excellent lp. I just picked up the Names, Swimming +
singles reissue, very good old school manchester factory post-punk sound.

Yes, Section 25 was on Factory.
They were well ahead of their time on a number of fronts, despite the
fact that they were often written off first as Joy Division ripoffs, then
as New Order ripoffs. "Looking from a Hilltop" (I'm surprised at how many
people recall the song when I play it for them) and a lot of their other
1983-1984 material is seminal electro, and their 303 work sequencing was
widely imitated during the acid house days.
Before that, they released a wonderful album called "The Key of Dreams"
that predated the whole mid-to-late-90's space rock revival. Much looser,
spacier, freer-flowing jams, heavier on bass and guitar.
Factory is still dead, but most of S25's back-catalog has been reissued
by the English label Les Temps Modernes, including a couple of worthwhile
live CDs. Best discs to start with by them would be From The Hip
(includes aforementioned "Looking from a Hilltop"), and Deux Ex Machina
(some well-worth-having studio outtakes and live tracks from 1983-1985).
