[@lolaveneziana6999]

Heard this in London 1981 and never forgot it… ahead of its time fright funk!! Love it! I’m 63 now.. it glistens dear…

[@SteeeveO]

Yeah me too, but in Nottingham Rock City. Band were late on stage so we had an hour of farmyard animal noise to listen to......or maybe it was an abattoir come to think of it.

[@JuniorJr...]

That bass is 🔥

[@trevorsanders5303]

One of the best bass lines ever committed to record

[@johnadedoyin6866]

Bassline on Lucinda isn't too bad either

[@wills4794]

One of the best bands committing their sound to record ever!

[@PeterChoyce]

It glistens, dear

[@christopherwest4580]

Great to hear acr again, it’s just got such a great vibe.👍🎸🎸😍😍

[@litlgrey]

The SPOOKIEST version they recorded. Martha Tilson's effect vocals are unforgettable. And all the thumb piano!

[@thethinredline4714]

A real Ghost story

[@vinto34]

Top notch bass on this track and lucinda.

One of the best songs from ACR! Greetings from Portugal

[@Schizopantheist]

I think this might be deserving of more than 6000 views. I remember I used to listen to this walking home at night, seemed like the perfect piece of music.

[@sriramaha]

I first heard this on Brave New Waves [CBC Radio]...such a great show..

[@DeluxeStudioVisual]

Such a groovy yet frightening bass line, post punk funk masterpiece

[@BarbieChaite]

It's not jez who plays it but the drummer.

[@ricardparisealdabo838]

Ohhh my god. This album was too advanced !!!

[@traffert]

Earth Wind and Fire meets Eraserhead...... one of the very few bands to carry off Pith Helmets

[@nicobunnik4742]

good description!!

[@Fontsman]

This record was the darker, alternative side of funk.

[@Idcanymore510]

Light years ahead of its time. And it was a very progressive time for music.

[@sturdeehouse]

What year do you think would suit it?

[@jadeemerson301]

@@sturdeehousethough I didn’t make the original statement this kind of gives off early 2010s indie vibes.

[@sturdeehouse]

@@jadeemerson301 Does that it it ahead of it's time...or are they just copyists? Listening to it at the time, no one said...wow this is really ahead of it's time.....

[@santiagosanchezblanco9430]

​@@sturdeehouseSi,había mucha música de este tipo en aquella época.La gente ahora se sorprende mucho por casi todo.La verdad es que eran buenos.

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

fucking love slap bass

[@michaelmeade9325]

Then the 12" version is completely different - both brilliant in their own way. The box set just proves how great these guys were/are.

[@bjrnrichter4414]

Ghost funk

[@janzenrollo8923]

Spot on! Ooooouu

[@garysmith6650]

Ghost funk of the highest order Bjorn

[@LucMarchal-uk6nz]

​@@janzenrollo8923Io non capisco😊😊😊

[@santiagosanchezblanco9430]

Muy buen dark after-punk + funk.Tengo este album en vinilo desde mediada la decada de los 80.

[@janzenrollo8923]

Funky shit for sure, but those lyrics..... Who sold that knife to me? Life fingers They cut off them Bring it home to me Dear It glistens dear Bring tight skin Cut till they crawl Flicked to the pavement Let it fall I’m home dear It glistens dear

[@bjrnrichter4414]

Thanks

[@gaztop411]

Wow wow 😳 🎖

[@Pedroleum100]

This sounds very similar to early records of Bill Laswell's *Material.* Think of _Heritage._

[@LucMarchal-uk6nz]

YES!!

[@LucMarchal-uk6nz]
