alternative tentacles. virus 43 / 12 tracks / 1985

+ lyric sheet.

Music-wise this is a little less radical than their earlier stuff (although the lyrics aren’t), more rock and blues influence (you could tell already where Gary Floyd would be going from here); still I miss the anger of their 7”s. Good music, though, and a good Klaus Flouride production. (KS) [7]

Etwas gemäßigter und rockiger sind sie geworden, aber textlich keine Spur weniger radikal. Vermisse ein wenig den Zorn der 7”s. Trotzdem bedenkenlos zu empfehlen. Dicht und kompakt, außerdem gut produziert von Klaus Flouride. (KS)
