STAFF COMMENTS
Martin says: That this band and LP exist in the shadows of more (rightly) celebrated Manchester contemporaries is down to unhappy accident, not any lack of brilliance. Forged in the same punk crucible, then moving beyond, they retained the fire and connection that was such an important part of punk's message but through a sublime and haunting interplay of guitar and keyboard melody that elevated them into the stars. This is not just one of Manchester's finest hours, it's one of the greatest post punk records ever recorded.
