Les Tempes Modernes ~ 2002
The first significant fruit of the Crispies' surprising late-nineties reunion was their long-belated second studio album, Scissorgun, produced by Graham Massey of 808 State fame, which finds the band in brilliant early eighties form, if not showing slightly more polish around the edges. When listening to Scissorgun, it is impossible not to marvel at how fresh and dynamic the Crispies' brand of post-punk sounds twenty years after the fact, and if anything, they highlight how facile most of the revivalists actually are in comparison. Songs such as "Loupgarou" and "Re-Animator" continue the band's unique ability to employ sonic textures in ominously ironic ways. And this points to what always made Crispy Ambulance a unique band. Never one to take themselves as seriously as Ian Curtis & co., they, nevertheless, exploited their looser approach to similarly dark ends, but in the case of the Crispies, darkness always came with a dose of humor.

ReplyDeletehi scurfie, I'm not sold on the filehost. I'm getting no dl stats, so it's back to the drawing board. I'm trying out different ones. Looks like I might go with FilePost
DeleteI have had a Depositfile account for years and never had an issue. Did you look at DF?
ReplyDeleteThey delete files pretty regularly. I decided to give mediafire another try. They have the quickest download speeds for free users
