First off all you can find label histories of Les Disques Du Crepuscule, Factory and Factory Benelux. These were originally written for magazines: NME (UK), Record Collector (UK) and Magic (Fr), but reworked for this site.
Then you can glance through what is very likely the most comprehensive Crepuscule discography ever compiled (once described by the NME as "solving the mystery of the Marie Celeste"). There are separate discographies of all Crepuscule's sister- and sub-labels, such as Operation Twilight, Crepuscule Au Japon and Interior Music. A LTM discog is also included.
Next are the Factory and Crepuscule Image Banques.
Alan Hempsall's
legendary Joy Division interview, from January 1980, can be found here too, and
there also is an exclusive, intrigueing article on early Factory Records by Howard
Slater, which is both a personal and theoretical attempt to get to grips with
his obsessions about Factory's early years. Slater even managed to persuade Karl
Marx to review Joy Division's Closer!
Please note that both Les Disques Du Crepuscule and Factory Benelux were recently revived, and are now operated from LTM Headquarters in the UK.
