Hahaha. They're a bit of an acquired taste.

I love "The Parable of Arable Land". I'm less keen on "God Bless the Red Krayola...", but still like it.

Mayo Thompson went on to produce The Fall, Primal Scream, Felt, Stiff Little Fingers, The Raincoats, Cabaret Voltaire and a bunch of others.

This was the one. I only bought it because of cliched psychedelic swirly gubbins. Never judge an album by it's cover !

I'll have to dig it out sometime and see if my tastes have changed. Doubtful though.
