Fact checked. I am wrong. The vastly inferior album version was 88, the single 89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it totally misleading. It loks like a Luther Van DROSS album. It's also a bit lacking with only 9 tracks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 “En finir” was settling scores with stylistic choices, sometimes too familiar. Here, the sound kinetics do not manifest through masses or agglomerates, but through individual sounds with their own internal movement: superimposed trajectories, cycles of evolving tones. Whether these cycles or repetitions are of a cosmic, organic or biological nature, does not prevent them from also being musical and centered around vital rhythms."

Not a bad album to be honest, musically rather different in sound, textures, electronics etc. I've always quite liked it although it does divide opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've loved it since I first bought a copy in 1978, seems a lot of people are agreeing with me over forty years later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Nice copy albeit without the EP, seller must not have known it's the scarce New Zealend version, probably why I got it for £4.20. Must extend the "B" section... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bunnymen and even the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Sadly The Edge also thought he was imitating Television, how, when the whole point of the guitars are that they aren't compressed with effects. I have no idea but that isn't anyones fault but his own With the exception of (very early) REM, I'm at best indifferent to those bands, but I love Marquee Moon. As with James Brown, Gil Scott Heron, Led Zeppelin, The Sex Pistols and many others, the followers added nothing to the originators for me.
