Song Of the Day: February 18, 2005
If memory serves, I mail-ordered this disc after reading a rave review in a fine industry trade publication called The Bob. This brilliant performance, seemingly fueled by cheap beer and even cheaper speed should please fans of both the pop and punk genres. I must report unfortunately that the subsequent LP on Big Time Records, Soul Desire, was rather less bracing and energetic than this debut. Fortunately, our tale has a happy ending, as guitarist/songwriter JZ Barrell made a charming LP of spikey pop in 1996 enititled Here's the Surprise (NG Records).

Got this record for free, tucked away in a one dollar head-shop copy of Throbbing Gristle's 'Greatest Hits' - a proper pairing. ...and I'm sad to say, nothing Mr. P'Orridge and Co. conjured could really quite equal 'Piles.' SORRY FASCISTS!!!
