 | | Description: | Formed in 1976, by 1990, The Fall had been through 18 line ups, releasing 14 albums and 24 singles - The only constant was leader, vocalist Mark
Edward Smith â?? welded to the work ethic, creating music that stunned in its obscure brilliance; railing against mediocrity, flailing against the status quo
It was all change when The Fall signed to Fontana. Guitarist Martin Bramah, who had founded the group with Smith, returned, replacing Smith's ex-wife Brix, who
had been in the group since 1983. There were few cries of sell-out, however, when The Fall signed to a major; it was just part of an evolutionary process. The three
Fontana albums, Extricate, Shift- Work and Code: Selfish were stunningly consistent.Released in February 1990, Extricate was a big bold statement, coopting
some Madchester beats into The Fall's mix, with the band and Smith on excellent form. From the catchy indie of Hilary and The Littlest Rebel, the oblique
attack on past lovers in Sing! Harpy, and the touching rumination on death and new love, Bill Is Dead, Extricate is one of the group's most coherent albums. Smith
also worked with dance producers Coldcut updating the Lisa Stansfield sung track My Telephone as Telephone Thing. This re- issue faithfully replicates the
original 1990 Fontana Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl. - Formed in 1976, by 1990, The Fall had been through 18 line ups, releasing 14 albums and 24 singles - The only constant was leader, vocalist Mark Edward Smith - welded to the work ethic, creating music that stunned in it's obscure brilliance; railing against mediocrity, flailing against the status quo.
