But with the technology and time you can see where this racket
came from. I have somehow by some twist of events become a massive Can fan and
they sound like The Fall. I have found myself owning a copy of Trout Mask
Replica by Captain Beefheart & Magic Band and that sounds like The Fall.
But as a Punk in the late 70’s you wouldn’t know that.
I can’t quite put my finger on why I like them so much. It’s
not just because Peel liked them. It’s not the fact that my dad likes them. It’s
not that all of their albums are awesome (see This Nation's Saving Grace & Ersatz GB (some great songs but as albums,
not sold). Is it because Mark E smith is a lyrical genius? No. (see
Industrial Estate). It’s just different.
And now I have to decide whether to buy a ticket to go see
them based on an excellent last album and a really rather chaotic EP. and it seems a same not to share this on the subject of The Fall. Saw this live as part of a set by Mark Wynn as support for Sleaford Mods and loved it.
