It's true but then Radio Clash is also great.

It is, but I don’t personally think it’s as great. But yeah, id think of that as a sensible choice long before a single Combat Rock b side entered the picture.

A thought: If CTC didn't exist, we'd spend an inordinate amount of time justifying those CR b-sides. In other words, thank Christ for CTC.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021, 12:00pmI promise I'll try not to.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021, 11:36amAnd let's not forget about First Night Back in London!

Thing is I don't dislike any of them. Sure I might like them the least. But at least they are covering new territory. First Night Back in London is very interesting musically. Lyrically much less so.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021, 12:16pmA thought: If CTC didn't exist, we'd spend an inordinate amount of time justifying those CR b-sides.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
I think Radio Clash is amazing, a tour de force from Joe. The flip side is lame in comparison.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
I can honestly say they’re not as unlistenable to me as some say they are. But they aren’t good, or even acceptable, when you lay them against the quality of the previous ones.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021, 12:47pmIf I can offer praise for being adventurous, it's still a failed experiment.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021, 12:27pmThing is I don't dislike any of them.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Yeah, that one is perfectly defensible as a top five, dependent on taste.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
It is partly a relative measure—expecting more from that band even on b-sides—but nothing about those CR b's makes you wish for more of the same (unless you're, like, Kory, and that's maybe the least of his fetishes).Wolter wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021, 12:56pmI can honestly say they’re not as unlistenable to me as some say they are.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Some of the musical ideas are interesting and executed in different songs would work well. But I agree with your overall assessment.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021, 1:09pmIt is partly a relative measure—expecting more from that band even on b-sides—but nothing about those CR b's makes you wish for more of the same (unless you're, like, Kory, and that's maybe the least of his fetishes).Wolter wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021, 12:56pmI can honestly say they’re not as unlistenable to me as some say they are.

As a big trip hop/downtempo fan, its tone and mood really appeal to me. I think it fits in well with whatever genre-less thing Rat Patrol was trying to be.Marky Dread wrote: ↑05 Mar 2021, 6:11amWow "Stop the World" before all those other great tracks. I like StW but those other tracks are way too strong not to beat the experimental nature of that song. But I appreciate the individual and personal preference so good on you Kory.
