Oh, & Ian, you say none of the Falls 70-odd albums sound like each other? My dad is a Fall fan for his sins, & Mark E. Smith has the same ranty, monotonous voice on all the songs. Bit samey, I reckon, even if the musical arrangement might differ on a few tracks.

I went right off Inspiral Carpets when Smith guested on 'I Want You'. They might as well have recorded a song with Half Man Half Biscuit... :uhoh:

imo "I want you" by the inspirals featuring MES is their best work

Sarcastic prick! I meant that Smith appears to have the same droning, can't-quite-work-out-what-the-feck-he's-saying kind of voice in every Fall track; he has no range

'I Want You' by the Carpets is not a fraction as good as stuff like 'This Is How It Feels', 'Move' & 'Uniform'.

Sony also agreed with me as they used it on one of their ads didn't they?

as i said it is my opinion that i want you was an improvement, saw them in birmingham in the piranhas club circa 89 & they were ok but the fall live were always entertaining, crap jumpers, tantrums, great songs, mes shootiung daggers at the band etc
