NOTES
92 minutes
A good audience capture.
A night of hard core stripped down bloomin’ marvellous Fall.
Catch “Room to Live” without Riley’s trademark guitar figure – a relentless Scanlon scribble moves it from 1982 to 1983 with an atonal Ramones like thrust. Hanley provides the occasional melodic hook but this is a piledriver incessant reading.
Gasp at the interesting intro to “Kicker” with the coda seemingly coming at the beginning.
Marvel at “And this day” a relentless unforgiving mass of percussion and Smith with Scanlon and Hanley reduced to a grumbling carpet of sound underneath. Eight and a half minutes of brutal sound.
Go weak at the knees at the ninety minutes plus of music.
Imagine your incredulity at the effortless funky dance music hidden in the trappings of an experimental band from the north west of England.
Well worth a listen.
