"A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden
It is. And I rate Peggy Suicide in the top double albums I've ever heard. It doesn't drag a bit.
That Head Heritage site is good stuff.
Teardrop Explodes was a little before my time, but they used to recieve a lot of good press back in the late 80's/early 90's...I remember buying My Nation Underground after seeing a video on 120 Minutes...ehhh, didn't quite do it for me. Next up was an import (I live in the US) vinyl copy of Skellington. I think that guy did a lot of acid or something...a real freaky song on there about Robert Mitchum? Wish I kept that one as I am quite sure a lot of his stuff is out of print. Never heard Peggy Suicide, but yeah, jackpot on Jehovahkill...Upwards at 45 Degrees, Soul Desert...it has a a very raw sound and the music jams and goes all over the place.
...........okay, now I feel stupid. Just went to the link above and yep, you can still get Skellington but no Jehovahkill.
The Teardrop Explodes were great but the guy's a mentalist
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
