The Fall - Peel Session 1990

[@srebuck]

Extricate one of my fave albums ever.

[@gostrum1]

They always sound good

[@nosnad71]

Extricate was a good album! Maybe not in the eyes of the Fall purists (probably due to the Coldcut electronic influence on a few tracks), but I think it worked and I think the band were pretty tight at this early post-Brix stage. They didn't sound as 'meaty' again for many albums after this. I'd put this in my top 5 Fall albums and I don't care who hates me for it!

[@tonysmyth4116]

I've been a Fall fan since when they only had one album out. Extricate is still my favourite. It punches. Actually, all of them are my favourite. It just depends on which one I'm listening to.

[@libre-tad6283]

the thought of fall purists being any threat is amusing, suppose their number is fair, fuk em this sounds better than the album

[@Dnky27]

Whizz Bang went unbroadcast on the night as MES was unhappy with it. It turns out to be a version of b-side Butterfly 4 brainz.

[@geoffw1209]

Short lived though it might have been, this lineup was quite possibly the best of the lot! Kenny Brady’s manic fiddle playing was a stroke of genius and a not so subtle dig at a recently departed band member at the same time. Why are people so grudgeful?

[@PD-jj4fo]

Is it me or is the bass in Chicago Now played in a slightly different key? It sounds really cool

[@CharlieMessing]

He's a little sharp and it's a good thing! Perfect for this. Actually, Craig is playing around too! Unique sound! Great song, great take.

Extricate is not appreciated. In my fall top 3 albums.

Hillary swipes the intro to The Move's "I Can Hear the Grass Grow," which would in time become a live staple. Why plunder the intro when you can just cover the song itself?

Mark's Yank accent put-on adopted from 88/89 after a fan sent him a demo tape full of L/ Reed inflected tunes, in full flow here.

[@johncoan]

yeah? where do you get this from?

[@LondonDada]

@@johncoan A tape a musician fan I know sent him. After 10 years of same vocal style an Immediate and very noticable change in Mark's singing"voice apparent in all sessions concerts and LPs from that point on. Its called a reasonable deduction.

[@badmen1550]

@@LondonDada As if Mark had been unaware of Lou Reed's music up until that point...

[@LondonDada]

@@badmen1550 True, but my point was that his delivery manner abruptly changed directly after he heard a demo tape of a fan's fake Reed-twanged vocals in the late 1980s. Gone forever was Mark's wonderful authentic Manc' gutteral
