Well, in my case, it's just that I've sort of recently discovered them. I mean, I was vaguely aware of their existence, but I'd never really sought out their stuff or even heard much of it. I blame Jody Beth Rosen, I guess, since it was her POX thread and the positive responses it got that inspired me to download a few of their songs. Then I picked up Countdown to Ecstasy since it had "My Old School" on it. The album proceeded to quickly grow on me like a vicious fungus. So I picked up the preceding release and then the following one. So far I still like Countdown the best, but I plan to continue on through their catalog until I lose interest - and if I don't lose interest, even better.

First played Tilt last night after a long day filming in an stultifyingly hot abandoned "boys' village" in Wales. Got home, saw Emma, drank a few beers, went to bed at 1am, put it on on headphones. A record has never scared me before. As if A Farmer In The City wasn't ominous and daemonic enough, during the opening moments of The Cockfighter I felt like someone was scratching their fingernails down the inside of the back of my skull, peeling my cerebelum away, and then, on the verge of sleep, it errupted in beautifully hideous and disturbed industrial sense-rape, clattering drum-things shocking me upright and Walker emitting this awful, harrowing ullulation over the top. I was nearly physically sick. It was magnificent.

A little more on the Frith: I'm happy with the crispy clean, full production. Everything feels very impassioned, from the pretty and sometimes aching melodies to the full strumming to the violent noise.
At the end of the day I'm still not a huge Prince fan so far. The Parliament is awesome though.
