Reviews & Discussion
This Heat were a unique band mixing punk attitude with progressive tendencies, English whimsy with German experimentalism. This album, compiled from studio sessions and live cassettes, captures their early incandescence. 24 track loop develops the tape loop technique, Horizontal Hold is reminiscent of Robert Wyatt and Fall of Saigon is a mournful ode to the ambassadors cat, with Bullen's guitar echoing the work of Michael Karoli. In fact the influence of Can and Faust can be felt throughout,tere certainly weren't many UK bands this far out. Not for the faint hearted, This Heat were a howl of rage against society, more catharsis than showbiz. A legendary album.
