Somewhere on ILX I once said something along the lines of "I don't get The Fall". Those days are over. My hitherto tiny mind has been expanded. And this is only the start. Although, weirdly, the stuff I'm REALLY getting into is the late 80's/90's material. This is mostly because it's the only stuff I've really laid hands on so far. The Marshall Suite is a completely brilliant record, The Light User Syndrome not far behind, This Nation's Saving Grace is awesome awesome awesome (holy shit Paint Work), and the A Past Gone Mad compilation is pretty much flawless. Birmingham School Of Business School! The day I finally acquire Hex Enduction Hour will be a joyful one. I reckon I'm stepping in the right direction tho'. Actually the two records I'd really like to hear next are Levitate and The Unutterable. Hope that isn't sacrilegious. But my favourite Fall song so far might well be The Crying Marshall and the garage-electro sound really suits MES' style imo. Not that I don't rate the earlier stuff. I have Perverted By Language as well. That record seems to be mostly all about the Garden - Hotel Bloedel one-two punch. It's really nice, if a bit sparser than the later material. Gosh, I need to stop typing.

Glad you're getting into the Fall! I think it's funny that you said you're stepping in the right direction because there's a song on Hex Enduction Hour called "Just Step 'Sways". Maybe you knew that, though. And for what it's worth, I didn't "get" The Fall at first, either.

I went through the same thing. I compare the Fall to one of those "Magic Eye" pictures, like they tend to look like nothing for a long time and then suddenly this image pops out at you... I was almost the same w/the Fall. They suddenly just made sense.
Hex is great.
Honestly I think The Real New Fall LP (Formerly County on the Click) is up there with anything they've done too, if you want a 00s record.

I'm currently going through this with Zappa (sort of, because there's still a lot about him I hate, but at least the orig. Mothers 60s records I'm digging now)

Levitate is amazing.
Don't go too fast...you are in for years of discovery!

Name aside, this record is great to listen to when you're sick. I had a bastard of a cold around this time last year and it was just what I needed.

Alarming how many Fall fans I've talked to who have never heard this! Like two. But that's two too many.

Was listening to this yesterday as well! Marvellous album, so much fun and invention. Had a fluhdid the club moment on the train home. Periodically suggestions rise that they'll do another one surface, but I'm not sure Smith will consider it unless he's strapped for cash.
― Herr Kapitan Pugvosh (GamalielRatsey), Thursday, 3 February 2011 07:59 (thirteen years ago) link
If he was strapped for cash, he'd make another fall album, surely?
― Mark G, Thursday, 3 February 2011 11:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Not sure about that to be honest. I think a lot of the collaborative stuff, and indeed Fall repackaging stuff, as well as more or less constant touring, is partly driven by this (speculation on my part, but fairly strongly felt). The MoM collaboration was both high-profile and successful and MoM have said they'd be happy to work with him again.

No, it's Mark E Smith, what do you expect.

MoM are incredibly good live. Von Sud live would be great, did they tour this?
― mmmm, Sunday, 26 June 2011 21:10 (twelve years ago) link
I've been waiting for Mouse on Mars to come back to the states again for, like, 7 years. At this point they are the band I most want to see live right now. Well, "at this point" has pretty much been the past 7 years.

I saw them perform with it twice, the first at.. Fabric was it? which was good (v good Fledermaus Can't Get It). And Heaven, which was absolutely fantastic. Extremely memorable. Even the security stewards were grinning at one point. There are recordings I believe.
― Fizzles the Chimp (GamalielRatsey), Monday, 27 June 2011 09:23 (twelve years ago) link
Was that the one were he kept on distractedly wandering off the stage? And it was also insanely loud? It was an experience, certainly.
― ledge, Monday, 27 June 2011 10:24 (twelve years ago) link
Hmmm, he did go off stage a bit, but I guess I'm used to that (he often likes to sing behind the amps I think). We're probably talking about the same one, as the Fabric one was rather less chaotic iirc.

Not sure we should refer to Mark as "it". ;-)
