Didn't call it the great rock 'n roll swindle for nothing!

At least he's a honest twat. He never really shies away from it. @richiesombrero.bsky.social and I were chatting about this earlier in the week. PiL are/were a great band.

It is definitely unique. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it really wormed its way into my brain. The hold music track it reminds me of is called 'Opus One' by Tim Carleton - apparently he made it on a 4-track when he was 16! Some of the melodies also remind me of 'Abduction' era Eat Static.

Yes! 100%.

Haha, yes lad. Enjoy! I look forward to hearing your thoughts 👌

Oh man, you're in for a treat. It's an eponymous album that come out last year that musically sits somewhere between Tangerine Dream's 'Ricochet', the OST of 1991's 'Point Break' and that one piece of call waiting music that everyone kinda likes. Great, great record!

This is such a great record. I was surprised how listenable it was after reading the synopsis. Might stick it on again later if I can snap myself out of my Total Blue obsession.

One of the best live bands I've ever seen. You can hear how much they enjoy playing together on every record.
