4.0 out of 5 stars
Low-Fidelity Madness, May 18, 2004
This review is from: Totale's Turns (It's Now Or Never) (Audio CD)
The Fall and their leader were into drugs at this time, and it shows. This music is extremely wigged-out. In places ("Cary Grant's Wedding", "Fiery Jack", "Spectre vs. Rector") this music needs no justification, it is perfect and unique. In other places, it's less impressive and the low-fidelity recording will annoy you to death. It doesn't get stranger or more abrasive than this album. Mark Smith was following his wigged-out, low-fidelity muse. For a Fall fan this is indeed a must-have item as the songs I named above do not sound like this anywhere else. The band went on to coalesce into something a bit more of this earth on the follow-up LP "Groteque".
