This a really weird mix of stuff.

Prog, art-rock, reggae, rubbish...

Do you think they were influenced by Public Image?

This is too political for my liking. Needs to be more about love and romance. love them

EDIT: Mentioned s*x. gasp

Gone all Cardiacs.

Must admit my attention did wander at the end of that last one.

More post-rock angularity.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jun 30, 2023 7:50 pm

Only the guitar, bass, drums and general sound.

Yes, no, I realise that now.

I was (without actually looking at the thread title) labouring under the assumption that this was done in the early '80s.

Seems a bit of a lazy sample.

It is over.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Jun 30, 2023 7:53 pm

It is over.

It sounded like they all got new musical instruments for Christmas and were determined to use them.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of them. Excited

Where the Portobello Road passes just under the Westway!

Exactly where I lived for 20 years.

And where my Mum still lives! Excited

I have given it 2 stars.

1978 changes everything.

by Butterfield Fri Jun 30, 2023 7:54 pm

I was expecting pop perfection, but all we got was harshness and little melody.

1.5/5

Rounded up to 2/5 for voting.

Wasn't that Climie Fisher rather than Scritti Politti?
