The Fall "Live at the Witch Trials" (1979)
A British band championed by the late great DJ John Peel.
There's a
definite punk feel to the album, but with a broader range of sounds such as spoken word sections, moments of musique concrete and
theatricality. I can see why a musical omnivore like Peel would enjoy
it.
The rhythm section is tight and pounding with guitars that are sometimes
abrasive, sometimes washy and insubstantial, playing over and against
the off-kilter organ and with Mark E Smith's frantic Mancunian voice
over the top.
