Oil & Gold is their masterpiece (Still with Carl Marsh on tracks 1,2,3, Barry sings the rest)

I'm so glad everyone has enjoyed this track. Shriekback were introduced to me by my mentors elder brother, way back in 1997! There's something of the timeless about their music.

Desire turns onToo late to turn aroundThis graph we plotEach point higherThe diagram of what we've gotThe hysteresis curve we plotThe healthy future, perfect pastWe're catching up, we're gaining fastLegend or war woundHe's bought drinks, it slows him downRed lines, sharp nailsThere's no pain but cleartrailsGather wood, prepare for burningLeaving fast but soon returningBored as Christ with endless crossesClose the vote and count the lossesThis is the face that we show the worldThis is the face that we show the worldThis is the face that we show the worldThis is the face that we show the worldThis is the face that we show the worldThis is the face that we show the worldShriekback - Clear Trails

I'm only through to half of the playlist and each track is sounding better than the last. But THIS track? Wicked!

A friend of mine once played in a band called Cleartrails. Their singer lent my (vinyl) copy of Care and when I got it back, it was so scratchy that I haven't been able to listen to this beautiful song ever since - until I found this video. Thanks!

@trojanblue1 yes. And this song always reminds me that, "this is the face that we show the world." Probably the best and most important line ever written by them. Sadly, people of limited and often times poor taste will never know of their existence. We are the few.
