Cheers for the link Spence, wonder why it only goes to 1986?

It also has links to the Official and Unofficial Fall sites - which is handy for me because I thought the Unofficial was the Official - didnt know the Official one existed. Confused? I sure as hell am :-)

The official website was formed about a year ago after MES got upset over some correspondence on the now Unofficial site. Relations between the two sites seem to be friendly though. Personally I prefer the Unofficial site but mainly because I've never got round to book marking the new one!

New album sounds promising - have you seen the cover!!

Shall be seeing them in Hove and London - apparently last gig ever at the Hammersmith Palais.

New albums is greaaat! I really recommend it. its fun and ypical Fall, mastering is wisdom too.
How has Mark E retained the Fall sound over nearly 30 years? Its fuck*n amazing he's done that, each member must learn the Fall style, or is it like the cabbies used to have to do befroe sat nav and get the 'knowledge'?, the Fall 'knowledge'!

I picked up the double disc reissue of Hex Enduction Hour, wow, this could be become my favorite Fall album pretty quickly. Silly me, I though any Fall album that didn't include Brix would never equal This Nation's Saving Grace.

The track "Fall Sound" from the new album is the best Fall song in a decade.

Cant wait for the MES book to come out, end of June apparently

Seeing them again tonight. Can't wait. Apparently The Man Who's Head Expanded has reappeared for the first time in 20 years.
