from the motherland (part 1)...



the fall - totally wired (mp3)

a certain ratio - shack up (mp3)

a lazy post from me today, albeit very worthwhile...

feeling mancunian and proud, i have decided to pick two influential tracks from the motherland, manchester...the fall and acr shouldn't really need any introduction. both bands are often cited by modern artists for their early influence on the post-punk/punk funk scene and often get name dropped along with the likes of esg, liquid liquid etc...

both tracks are from the (very) early 80's, and are still sounding remarkably fresh today, hope you like...
