5.0 out of 5 stars one of the greatest, August 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fall/Infotainment Scan (Audio CD)

I do not comprehand the guy who wrote amazon review hence this one. Infotainment was my least favorite Fall, after one month the favorite. This LP was realesed 91, wayyy ahead of anything at the time. Could be realesed 2010 and still would be. It just sounds different from early Fall. But say it is bad(it's not)The worst Fall record would still beat ANYTHING out there, some classical excluded ( B.the 9th, all of Gorecky) "i have forotten what others are still trying to grasp" - Mark E. Smith. Appropriate as far as popular music goes. To the gent who wrote one of the above reviews, NO, you can't sing along to Fall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, August 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Infotainment Scan (Audio CD)

It's really bizarre to think that this LP has managed to disappear for the most part under the wealth of The Fall's other work. This is a great record, with inspired covers--particularly of Scratch Perry's "Why are People so Grudgeful?" It's a surprisingly upbeat record; Mark E. Smith even has a quasi-ballad with "I'm Going to Spain." Also recommended (if you can find it), The Fall's LP "Middle Class Revolt", also on Matador Records.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a winner., May 30, 1999

Boredom here? No way. All the tunes are winners. MES expands on this one. The cover of Chic's "Lost in Music" is excellent. I love "Fireworks" and "Service", on which he just raps away. MES has put out tons of Fall product in the 90s. If you looking for a place to start, why not with this one?
