The original track-list stated only thus...

Side A

A1 - Untitled 26:33

Side B

B1 - Untitled 21:32

That has since been broken down (and IMO over-explained) into this as a track-by-track arrangement (Still Talking and Bass now separate tracks apparently).

1-1 Cornet
1-2 The Old Man Smiled
1-3 Improvisation
1-4 The World Is A War Film
1-5 Something Came Over Me
1-6 Still Talking
1-7 Bass
1-8 Don't Do As You're Told, Do As You Think
1-9 Painless Childbirth

ButtonZ I'm sure will disagree (apparently rating the skittish and patchy DOA top of the tree), but for me it's their best album.

Could make a good double bill with Liquid Gold or Randy Vanwarmer.

It's a good album, it's not a patch on err... some random one from 24 Hours of TG, live at Hat Fair, Winchester, or something. But it's alright for newbies. I guess.


:Hipster:

But haven't we already, err. done the Throbbsters?

Some bands are like the Beatles.

And The Residents.


And ELO.

And the Psychedelic Furs.

I don't think Wendi will find this album as objectionable as 20 Jazz Funk Greats.

Not that I think she'll enjoy it of course.

It's started!

Track 1 - Untitled.

Cosey playing the single cornet they had.

Noises.

Vuvuzelas.

Cornets!

This track has since been renamed "Cornets".

It's not going anywhere, so far.

Did I mention that time I saw a copy of painless childbirth, and didn't pick it up for 50p or whatever it was?




I must have? Ah, what the heck.

Weeeee!!

Just the one Cornetto, mind...

Track 2 - The Old Man Smiled.
