My name is John Cooper. I run Cerysmatic Factory, the unofficial blog, history and archive about Factory Records, the independent record label from Manchester, England...
I have also designed (or redesigned) websites for The Durutti Column, John Metcalfe, The Duke Quartet and Kooky Records.

We thought you might like to see this.
It's the video for our new single, "BRIGITTE BARDOT", taken from our current album "LOLA DUTRONIC IN BERLIN".
It's our #1 download at iTunes and our most viewed clip on YouTube.
It's been getting all kinds of airplay all over the world. Even the legendary Rodney Bingenheimer has been playing it on his show on KROQ-FM in L.A., as well as the video appearing on the NME's website.
If you don't already have a copy, you can download the single for your iPod by clicking here:
If you fancy a proper cd of the "LOLA DUTRONIC IN BERLIN" album, click here:

Hope you enjoy the clips, and don't forget to download the tracks at iTunes.
It's only a dollar.... ;-)
love

Les Ailes du désir
(Der Himmel über Berlin)
Un mur divisait encore Berlin en 1987, lorsque Wim Wenders entreprit d’en montrer le ciel, qui donne son titre allemand au film : Der Himmel über Berlin.
Seuls des anges peuvent donc rassembler toutes les vies qui chuchotent dans la ville. Voir, entendre, participer aux existences multiples et diverses, recueillir les moments précieux, c’est la tâche des anges, mais est-ce bien le bonheur que recèle la réalité ?
