i am leaning towards choreography although euthenics and child's play also deserve consideration.

I guess I'm surprised this hasn't been reissued as well. I don't remember being all that crazy about it, but I'd like to hear it again nonetheless.

a strange and difficult post-punk album. moments of brilliance, punctuated with sax. deserves a reissue. i'm going with 'Euthenics'. early exposure via the pre-LP 7" makes it a comfortable fave.

I used to have a tape of their songs someone made me. I loved it but I can't remember which song had which title. There was one with awesome metallic tapping and whirring as a rhythm track.

Would love to get a copy of this album.

i will put it & some extras up on 5l5k with the user name burial mix for those that wish to grab it for a short time

I'm going with "Second Still". Yes, this needs to be reissued ASAP.

― drone/a/sore, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 17:40 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Only two votes is pretty sad

Listening now. Music is okay but something about the singer's whispery vocals bugs me a bit.

― Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You, Saturday, 16 August 2008 21:39 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, I would've voted...but I don't like them very much.

― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 16 August 2008 22:32 (seventeen years ago)

fourteen years pass...

Holy shit! It’s finally happening!

Wow, a proper replacement for my noisy LP rip, woohoo! Missing b-sides "Special Patrol", "The Look A Smack" and "Benched Down / 70s Sixties", guess the band didn't rate those.

― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Saturday, 22 October 2022 14:23 (three years ago)

Brandon Capps of Half String, an FB friend, noted no Peel Sessions or a particular Richard Skinner session. Theoretically those plus the other tracks you note could have made a 3CD package, maybe they were unsure of demand? Or indeed the band, who are involved, just don't rate them.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 22 October 2022 15:29 (three years ago)

I have MP3s of the b-sides and Peel session, and a live gig, if anyone wants them.
