This sticker is the closest you'll get to a cover for this killer UK demo. ABSTRACT CRITIQUE had a couple of releases that followed, but this demo wins my prize for bizzaro peace punk with heaps of effects and liberal use of keyboards from start to finish. And speaking of the finish, the 6+ minute eponymous "Abstract Critique" is a more than brilliant way to wrap up a demo tape...admittedly rather self indulgent ambient drones that owe as much to THROBBING GRISTLE as they do to some rejected art track from one of the
Bullshit Detector comps. But the driving monotonous tracks "Coriolanus" and "Red and Black" should be more than enough to win over naysayers...totally unique punk. Oh, and I had a very nice trip.

Thanks and welcome back!
Check out Gabe's block and try to get a compilation tape entitled Fiddler In The Furnace for another song 'Coffin Brotherhood'
they also released a 7" (which i just ordered actually. can rip that one when it turn up)
find an interview from '85 here:

i used to have a fake 7" that they ""released"". Did they actually make a real one?
just what i was about to write. got the record a while ago, and obviously it is just some cheap records they found somewhere and stuck their own label over the real one on the vinyl. my copy is very worn and plays thousands of pops and clicks and sounds like donald duck singing...
4 songs is stated, but it is only 2 songs on the record, hehe
i got cheated and sit here with a very long nose at the moment...
please wizard, can you re up this??
thanx :)
I will.
In fact, I already did.
Cheers!
thank you very much, you are the best!
cheers from chile!
