Mouse on Mars + MES
Mark E. Smith is a dickhead. There is absolutely no doubt about it. But he is a musical genius. And there is absolutely no doubt about that too. Lot of people say MES should kill the Fall. The band is not what it used to be. It is just a caricature, a travesty, a joke. I just do not agree. Fall made some really shitty albums during their "prime" (Bend Sinister, Dragnet and Room to live). Fall have made some really, really stunning albums in the last ten years (The Unutterable, Country on the Click and Fall Heads Roll). Anyone who is a Fall fan knows that the band is anything but consistent.
An example of MES’s brilliance. This album shows the man’s still got shit loads of stuff left in him.
As it is MES + your granny = The Fall
BTW, anyone heard Imperial Wax Solvent? Brilliant that is what the verdict is.
“Imperial Wax Solvent” is the best Fall album in a number of years.
Aaaaah! Has the world been duped again by this nut-case?

I've really been trying to get my hands on the Unutterable. Doctor Buck's Letter is one of my favourite songs, but the album remains elusive.
and yeah, VS put a whole new spin on MES's chewed on vocals.
the unutterable can easily be among their best albums.
guess you will have to get the Fall discography torrent for that.
fuck yes. Dr. Buck's letter is a groovy motherfuker. my fave is cyber insekt
