| Freaky, I copied this tape on October 24th 1989, and I can't have listened right to the end once in the last 30 years, even when I WAV-ised it, cos I've never heard that last one before.
If it wasn't for the NHOTW I would never have known it was there. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| They're singing in Icelandic to stick it to us Anglophones where it hurts. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| It is over. I felt that was an album whose peak was in its second half. The main point of interest was Bjork's singing. I felt the man was mostly unnecessary. Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. _________________ |

| Yes, that was OK.
Not bad at any stage (apart from the stupid one at the end(ish).
Not really my slice of putrefying fermented shark, but kinda cool in a 'we still refuse to believe that the early '80s ever ended' way nonetheless.
They're better than the spin-off band Bork in any event. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| I hate the way the forum goes deathly quiet immediately after the frenzy of an album commentary. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

| I am compiling a list of albums to propose. They're all crackers. Also, I am planning a stunning revamp of the Running Commentary subforum which will leave people reeling. _________________ |

| That was a solid ★★★★, Birthday was the stand out track, but I never noticed how post-punk it sounded, but with a(n ironic?) pop twist that made it more than a simple rehash of Or something. |
