There are only two bands which can actually cover the intensity of this song and transform it into something totally new: the swans and the fall.

The rules don't apply to the Fall, seriously. They were contemporaneous with, and shared a great deal of structural similarities with, early Hip-Hop. And in that tradition, if they felt like taking someones shit and looping it for their man to rant over, they went ahead and did it. They had not the slightest compunction about it. And neither should you.

Yes, but they're different. Both super groove-y, but different somehow. But yeh you gotta ask what in 70's Manchster would produce 2 great bass line riffers like that

I like to think of this song as Mark putting a new engine in an old car ;)

I hate comparisons, but has anyone ever wondered between the greatness of talent between Steve Hanley and Peter Hook? I sometimes imagine they are separated at birth and no one will figure who rules the bass between the two of them.

Thanks!! One of the most raw Fall tune (or Stooges) ever.

One of my least favorite Fall songs. The Stooges want their riff back. Great album otherwise.

This is a treasure. I didn't ever expect to see Elves live. At the start, Brix seems a little bit nervous with something (propably with someone in front). Steven's doing a great job in bass .
