Molecules and myself have painstakingly worked our way throughout the minefield that is the body of work by the popular beat combo The Fall so that you don't have to.
We have come up with what we believe the be the ultimate starter kit to anyone unfamiliar with the band. Molecules has been handling the bands works dating from 1978-1989. I have been dealing with the bands output from 1990 up to the present day.
Some of the more obvious tracks are absent. In fact you will not find anything from the bands most critically acclaimed album 'This Nations Saving Grace' nor will you find the bands most well known songs such as 'Totally Wired' or 'Hip Priest' or 'Hit The North' & 'Ghost In My House' either. But the songs that are there are what we consider the bands best works. Narrowing the choices down to 18(ish) was both challenging & ultimately rewarding as we indulged ourselves into one of the finest bands ever to come out of this country.
