reminds me of goin to the Hacienda with an old T.V. set ...on me head....

Ariel nailed to the top and all ... We had no money but it was free if you were in fancy dress, ( my m8 went as the repair man dressed in a bin liner lol needless to say we won a bottle of champaign.... some berk ran off with it though .... Tony Wilson was there .. (wonder if theres anyone with any film of that event ??) sayin you@ve been ripped off .... hi Andy miss you and 566 - them were the days -

Nice coat he has.

[snt2010]

What's the reason why songs like this are not made any more?

[secondhanddaylight]

because good taste is kinda dead ?

[ChrisWales22]

@secondhanddaylight Each to his own old boy

[BagpipeHustler]

[iancurtis51880]

Love this song. Really very good.

[curlyfroggy]

right so Sihell. and/but tis always good to discover some bands are so nuanced they still have something to give you after so many years.

[SIHELL]

seem very underrated. Which has already been typed.

[dinoblackgrape]

very underated band,they didnt get the respect they deserved,brilliant band,

[LokiHeart]

Even though they I'm so used to listening to Joy Division, I find ACR so fresh and awesome to listen to! XD

[FSchouten]

Make that two, but especially their darker songs like Flight, And Then Again, Blown Away, perhaps also Do The Du and of course the brilliant Knife Slits Water! Ah yes, this one too ;-).

[alleyloveshayley]

what's with the audio on this? i kind of like it better here than on the album. . .

[xeaterx]

excellent! thank you.

[subz6]

what happened to simon topping anyway?

[NewWaver80014]

As I recall, he moved to Washington DC for a while in the mid-80s.

He is now back in the UK - last I heard he was working for Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

[giri1948]

He has a pianotuning business in Nottingham.

[NewWaver80014]

That's where my mother grew up (West Bridgford specifically)! :-)

This is good to hear. I had always hoped he found a nice girl, settled down, and was happy.

PS This is in response to giri's comment - this stuff keeps posting out of sequence.

[MentallyUnfit]
