Wicked, that looks great. Thanks for the tip.

lovely. sounds like my kind of thing. the reviews are great as well, especially the first one for TLPD.

not really my cup of tea, but they command a voracious cult following.
They always got lumped on various Industrial compilations in the eighties, can't see the connection myself,always one to skip over in my opinion,closer to the Pet Shop Boys than TG. Although one could never take time to study the lyrics, they sound irritatingly 'Clever,Clever', in the mode of Morrissey and that bloke in the awful Beautiful South.
But,one must respect their stickability,and adherence to their ideals.
Due to a luke warm reception in the UK they decamped to live in the Netherlands,where they received a positive response; that's continental europe for you.

totally agree.

saw them live once. well they spoiled an otherwise decent lineup, so i lasted about 2 minutes and waited outside for them to finish before meat beat manifesto came on. it was this :
