symbols crashing isn't purely post-punk tho, unless post-punk includes sheila b devotion and prince far i

Not purely, but it is a 2cd
It was the Nigel Simpkins track that made me pause ..

The AC Marias album is great but some of the drum programming dates it badly.
it does but it doesn't spoil it for me. i listened to it again an awful lot during the first lockdown and noticed it seems to have become a lot more sought after in recent times. i wonder if mute will reissue it, which reminds me that they were going to reissue Anita Lane's 'Dirty Pearl' but it has never appeared....?

prince far i is a post-punk icon yet not post punk.

just like me

I'm going AC Marias because I'm a sucker for dubby post-punk

Shall I do the killers joke now?
Right:
“I’m post punk but I’m not a punker…”

I was obsessed with AC Marias a few years ago even found a copy of the hard to find P’o CD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAcxQzl15LIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99S7aaDnv0k

this is an impossible choice ...
between Mars, Noh Mercy, Chrome, Leer/Rental, and Joy Division ... and DNA ... and ... this is like being shown a box of adorable kittens and being asked to pick the cutest kitten

I love the Urinals but this isn’t their best track

Went with Pere Ubu - absolutely love those early records and this is one of my favorites:

missed the poll. Might have voted for Rema Rema
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 14 April 2022 04:01 (two years ago) link
A landslide. Heart of Darkness is one of Pere Ubu's better known tracks right?
― paolo, Thursday, 14 April 2022 07:25 (two years ago) link
It's in their top ten, yeah
