Rafters 1977 with Penetration , the first time I saw The Fall , I was floored they were not what I was expecting,, I thought they’d be a punk group but to my delight they were much much more , hypnotic and sinuous with a singer who didn’t try to sing but gave off a vibe that seemed to suggest he knew how great the Fall were and if we didn’t get it we were fools , I remember them playing Repetition and it coiling around and around as Mark spat out each barbed. lyric , I was hooked, I didn’t stay for Penetration , I knew what they did and the Fall had just made that seem redundant.
