Product Information

Cruiser's Creek / City Hobgoblins / U.S. 80s-90s / Terry Waite Sez / Riddler! / Mr. Pharmacist / Shoulder Pads / Gut of the Quantifier / Bombast / Bournemouth Runner / My New House / R.O.D. Peter: "Paul Hanley drummed here at short notice in place of Karl and couldn't get Dktr Faustus right as you can tell from the tape and 2 attempts at it. Mansion as per 10.85 tour on tape only. Definitely source for Rowche Rumble on Crash Course promo." Julia Adamson, who engineered some of the recording sessions, would eventually join the Fall in 1995 as a keyboard/guitar player. After the universal acclaim for the previous year’s This Nation’s Saving Grace, Bend Sinister often stands in its predecessor’s shadow. It is a dark, brooding album made at the height of the group’s Beggars Banquet years and many people include this at the top of the list of favourite Fall albums.

Part musical hypnotist, part ranting madman, Smith was a singular figure in post-punk. His Mancunian accent, dry witticisms and plays on words were one of the Fall’s most constant characteristics. Their songs were odysseys into his ever-verbose psyche, marked by repetitive rhythms and melodies.” – ROLLING STONE

Politics does inform some of the record, though in true Smith fashion his preferred format of commentary is a petulant airing of grievances. “US 80’s-90’s,” hilariously sequenced right after the Revolutionary War march quote of “British Grenadiers,” uses an instance of Smith getting busted by Customs in Boston over bringing amphetamines into the country to launch an aggrieved slam of the entire nation. Ranting “ No beer/ No cigarettes,” Smith goes on a tirade of America being sanitized by its conservative values, an interesting rejoinder to the popular conception of the ‘80s as America’s most opulent and debauched decade. Elsewhere, Smith’s social commentary is mostly just dismissive of the punters who disrupt his solipsism, as when he snipes at dull poseurs who “ couldn’t tell Lou Reed from Doug Yule” in “Shoulder Pads 1#.” Even “Terry Waite Sez,” a reference to the then-envoy to the Archbishop of Canterbury and a leading hostage negotiator, is ultimately a jubilant work of nonsense, repeating the title over and over with some vague padding lyrics over a rubbery riff.
