2012 - Victrola Time

21 April: Single - Night of the Humerons

"Science hasn't recorded it yet"

Just the one offering in 2012, and a limited edition one at the that. Night of the Humerons (fantastic name for a record) was released for Record Store Day in 2012 and there were just a thousand copies of this seven inch single.

With a live version of Taking Off from last year's Ersatz GB on the b-side (which is alright but unspectacular) I'm left with one track to choose for this year - good job it's excellent.

Victrola Time has an intro most bands would give a career for. After just over a minute of drums and synth twiddling you're thinking 'oh, pretty decent instrumental track here' and then at 1:15 MES joins with some sort of unholy wail like you've never heard before.

If you picked this apart it's probably pretty simple stuff but put it together and wow! Extraordinary.

23 March: 6th John Peel Session - Smile, Garden, Hex Knot, Eat Y'self Fitter 27 June: Single - The Man Whose Head Expanded 19 September: Single - Kicker Conspiracy ?? November: Single - Marquis Cha-Cha 5 December: Album - Perverted By Language "Decadence and anarchy, he said, he smiled" The first post-Marc Riley output is, for me, one of the Group's high-water marks. The March John Peel session, featuring four songs to appear on December's Perverted By Language, is as good as it gets. Sessions for the show were supposed to last around 15 minutes, this one weighs in at just over half an hour and there isn't a wasted second. After Eat Y'self Fitter Peel said that he might have fainted during the playback! Eat Y'self Fitter would also be Peel's Fall selection for his appearance on Desert Island Discs . After a brief break on the Kamera label The Fall were back on Rough Trade for The Man Whose Head Expanded single in June. It starts with

6 March: Album - Hex Enduction Hour 19 April: Single - Look, Know 27 September: Album - Room to Live "When what used to excite you does not" I realise this might seem a contrary choice from the greatest album ever made but I'll explain further on. Hex Enduction Hour was recorded in Iceland and Hitchin in late 1981 against a backdrop of tension in the group and even the possibility that this was to be their last work. I'm delighted it wasn't but if it was to have been, what a way to go! This has taken me a while because I find it quite difficult to write about 'Hex' as I've read so much about it. Probably best I don't go into too much detail and embarrass myself so for now I'll just say it is at times powerful, confrontational, provocative, contrary, thoughtful and brutal. In reflective moments Mark E Smith, who never had much time for looking back at his old work, would say he was proud of the record. That endorsement is worth way

1995 - Feeling Numb

27 February: Album - Cerebral Caustic 7 August: Live album - The Twenty-Seven Points 22 December: 19th John Peel Session - He Pep, Oleana, The Chiselers, The City Never Sleeps "From remedies and Prozac, I'm kinda two-tone" According to Brix's book she was shocked at the state of the group and MES' health when she returned in 1994. She was also disappointed with the Cerebral Caustic album, particularly the way MES handled the recording of his vocals. I think there are a lot of high points on the album but those comments make you wonder if a fully fit and compliant Smith could have taken it up a few notches. The album roars in with (probable) anti-Political Correctness rant The Joke, and then Brix giving Don't Call Me Darling the full treatment. Other favourites from the record are Life Just Bounces and The Aphid, a song that manages to sound like a cover of a weird dance craze song from the 1950s or 60s. The album does peter out somewhat but befor
