referencing Entertainment!, LP, Album, EMC 3313

This is a very very good album and "right on" in its politics, it was applauded by all the music press in its time. Punishment of Luxury were highly unfashionable at the time but made an infinitely better album in "Laughing Academy". Both bands dealt with politics and psychology delivered through a tight, muscular new wave aesthetic. Gang of Four are the weaker brothers I think but it's still a good album.
