I know I said Extricate hasn't aged that well, but to pick nothing off it seems a bit odd.

Why?
I think "Shift-work" is the best of the 90's Fall albums anyway

― Michael B, Monday, 8 September 2003 10:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I kind of appreciate Shift-Work's post-massive-band-cull leanness but, I dunno - I guess I'm still hung up on how much I used to like Extricate. I could sing you all the songs off it! Shift-Work kind of blurs into one a bit.

I really like 'The Light-User Syndrome', it sounds pretty raw and MES sounds a bit more pissed than usual.

I still like Extricate a lot.

90's fall is all about Spinetrack to me. I don't have my albums here at work but off the top of my head, here are some:

cyber insekt
spintetrack
he pep
reckoning
don't call me darling
foldin money
everyone but myself
dr buck's letter
the joke
probably two of the new ones I heard live but don't know the name of.

shiftwork and codeselfish are the same record to me, same boring production and crap artwork. I never listen to them for some reason. I'm probably not being fair to them.

Yeah, on checking, my 'track off The Infotainment Scan' would be Service

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 8 September 2003 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I fuck I'm listening to I'm Going To Spain now and had totally forgotten how beautiful it is. Drop Bill Is Dead.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 8 September 2003 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I want I'm Going To Spain played at my funeral. What on earth is the original like?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 8 September 2003 22:44 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah its kinda tragic and funny that track - the way he sings "Im thirty four years ooold".

i have had the album since it came out and have only just now realised that it's not called "the infotainment SCAM" bizarre.

― jed (jed_e_3), Monday, 8 September 2003 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I almost feel like it was called that at one stage, probably just because so many people get it wrong.

Ah ha:

Some publications misprint the title as The Infotainment Scam, which would be equally appropriate. "A bit deliberate, that," Smith says with a smirk, adding ominously, "I spend a lot of time on my titles, more than I do on recording."

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 8 September 2003 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

"I used to know what A, E and D were," he says. "Now I know what A is."

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 8 September 2003 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

linktastic.

from A to E and back again. Hero.

― jed (jed_e_3), Monday, 8 September 2003 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)
