Mentioned in Reynolds' Rip It Up and Start Again, a collection of songs from the post-No Wave funky "mutant disco" period. The stuff from this scene is so vibrant, just fun and weird, arty without pretension.
Rip It Up and Start Again is a great track.
It's funny, I know it's a reference to Orange Juice, but I always hear in my mind PiL's "Flowers of Romance," which has the lyric, "Start all over again."
Behind the dialogue

For you, I will make sure to send chocolates.

Hello,

I got the album a month or so ago. It's pretty good - solid guitar rock, maybe a bit Dylan-ish at times to these (admittedly not Dylan fan) ears - more in the vocal than music.

As much time as i have for them i haven't really liked a waterboys album since the WB Yeats one they did which i lived. London Mick is good though. Wonder what mick himself makes of it.

We really should have salted the earth to make sure none of your disciples could ever spring forth.

Listened to this walking to and back from school. Been listening to a lot of post-No Wave mutant disco lately. Just so goddamned good and fascinating. I'd argue it was the last great moment of diverse genres coming together—art punk, disco, funk, and hip hop. I have a No Wave lecture planned, and it has an epilogue of sorts on this stuff, but now I'm thinking I should write a proper lecture on this remarkable coming together in Manhattan in the early 80s.
