From the March 1st 2002 edition of the London Independent:

'His obscurity [Reilly's] is the least of it. He has, after all, been a musician of unassailable daring and integrity from the release of his first, Martin Hannett-produced album, The Return of the Durutti Column, in 1980 – the one that came in a sandpaper sleeve that was withdrawn because it damaged the neighbouring albums in record-shop racks. His closest brush with success was in 1988, when his intricate playing graced Morrissey's first solo album, Viva Hate. Morrissey invited him to co-write a follow-up, so Reilly suggested they collaborate on something experimental, in the spirit of Patti Smith's Radio Ethiopia. "He hasn't spoken to me since," he shrugs.'

The rest of the interview is centered around the movie '24 Hour Party People' about Factory Records in the 1980's. The interview is found here:

    Radio Ethiopia is fantastic. They should have made the album... epic, ambitious, that playing, THAT voice, plenty of ego. Just imagine. Kill Uncle is loveable but he should have stuck it out with Reilly and made a masterpiece.
