So Brix Smith is in the band at last and
the sound is evolving again. She brings with her a bubbly stage presence
and a very strong pop influence to her new husband's band. For better
or worse. Some of the harsher edges are sanded away and while lyrically
nothing makes any more sense than it ever did without active listening,
the Fall become something that can start to conceive of some kind of
general sense of musical success as the pastel hell of the 80's grinds
forward. They become at the same time easier on the ears as well as the
eyes in concert.
Initial releases of "Call for Escape Route" came with a bonus two song single included here with an alternate version of "No Bulbs" and an alternate version of the song "Slang King" which graced the current lp.
You're welcome
