A couple of versions available to your reviewer. Words this time are dedicated to the slightly better version sourced from band gigography meister Stefan Cooke...slightly tinny and a little overloud at times but generally very listenable.
Immense. Hanley P's second gig. The gruppe headline a thursday night in Camden. The transition from "Dragnet" to "Grotesque" is palpable. Smith's disbelief in the power of his band adds a tension at the commencement - but therein after its a full blown Fall experience.
The stand out is the rare and wonderful "Cary Grant's" which is a unrelenting and scabrous in its Fall-ness.
The rest is just a delight and despite the less than the excellent sound is an experience worth anyones 53:03.
If anyone asks questions the validity of the band then this is a testament to the unrelenting noise that this group at the zenith of its powers can produce.
Words are not enough... you need to listen to this.
