[kj] OT: Angry music

[Mik]

Southern Death Cult was the best era. The name was supposed to be derogatory
to southerners in England. Not sure anyone got it though. Ah, I remember
helping Ian print the band's t-shirts in the community print shop. Those
were the days. Neither of us had any money. Supprisingly enough, Ian was
very into Crass. Even stayed  their house a few times. How he lost those
ideals very quickly when fame and fortune came along.

Curiously enough, I was never terribly fond of the Death Cult/'Dreamtime'
era- there was some good material there, but I never rated the music as
highly as Southern Death Cult or 'Love' and 'Sonic Temple'. I rarely listen
to 'Electric' any more, and never 'Ceremony' or the later albums. They
really lost it post-'Sonic Temple', but prior to that they were a constantly
evolving, consistently interesting rock band. 'Ceremony' was the first album
that wasn't a departure from its predecessor- SDC, 'Dreamtime', 'Love',
'Electric' and 'Sonic Temple' all showed the band moving on and exploring
new ideas. A decent part of Brit rock/goth history.

And, yes, I like The Cult, but particularly the early stuff, which was when
they were a proper band, before rock stardom & AC/DC rip-offs. 1983's Live
at the Lyceum is yet another all-time classic live gig.
