The Fall- Extricate (1990)


I think this is my favourite Fall LP.
The sacred cows of British Independent music,
The Fall, in the person of Mark Smith, made anti fashion a fashion, anti pop popular.
The miserable old fucker has been turning out this intelligent though often barely intelligible stuff for 32 years now- for which we should all be eternally grateful.
By the way- I once went to a funeral where the preacher sounded ah just ah like Mark Smith ah, which was strange.
Stephen Hanley- bass
Craig Scanlon- guitar
Marcia Schofield- keyboards, percussion
Mark E Smith- vocals
Simon Wolstencroft- drums
Martin Bramah- guitar, backing vocals
