Urbans Rough Guide To The Wild & Wonderful World Of The Fall (lyrics, singer)

I've recently been filling the gaps in my Fall collection and am discovering some lost gems - you need to crack on with this thread mate! Warning: sad fanboy banter follows...
I disagree with you on 'Room To Live', the spirit of Hex runs through it I think, and it's just lopsided and typical of that era...

Yet it's the 90's stuff that I'm unearthing, totally with you on 'Extricate', it's very accessible and just kicks off the post-Brix period perfectly.
Everyone bangs on about 'the Infotainment Scan' being the peak of their early 90's 'techno-y' period but I'm not sure, it sounds stupid but the second half of 'Code:Selfish' and 'Middle Class Revolt' really do it for me.

Would be great to read some coverage of the later stuff ('Levitate', 'the Unutterable' etc); a real goldmine of the usual lyrical genius and pop undertones IMO.
