Negative Positive
Title: great compilation of material otherwise unavailable
Review: The Fall brought out tons of material, but this may be their best compilation. It consists of singles they brought out on Rough Trade between 80 and 83. We have the great "Prole Art Threat" from their Slates EP, and some of their best singles: "Totally Wired" ("I drunk a jar of coffee, and then I took some of theeese"), "The Man whose head expanded", "Marquis Cha-Cha" and "Kicker Conspiracy". "Wings" was the flipside of the "Kicker Conspiracy" double single and is surely one of the best Fall songs ever. "Neighborhood of Infinity" comes as a great live version which is far superior to the the studio one on "Perverted by Language". This is a great record, most of the tracks are classics you will not find anywhere else. One drawback: the original release of this CD had two more tracks from which I especially miss "City Hobgoblins".
