24 Hour Party People

24 Hour Party People is the 2002 soundtrack compilation tied to the film of the same name, assembling music that traces Manchester’s transition from late 1970s post-punk and indie rock into the late 1980s and early 1990s dance and club culture. The album juxtaposes guitar-based, raw post-punk textures with early electronic and house-inflected rhythms to reflect the shifts in sound and scene portrayed in the movie, offering a snapshot of the musical currents that shaped the era.
