The Fall – Out Ferroviarios

Even by the usual standards of what passes for "Cog Sinister" in these Post MES Years, this one is rough. The "intro" is SIXTEEN BASTARD MINUTES of the audience waiting for the group to come on. Completely pointless. There are between-track glitches, suggesting the album has been copied straight from a CDR, possibly the original 2013 bootleg. The artwork appears almost completely copied from the bootleg too, complete with the use of a well-used 1977 photo of MES with Martin Bramah, which is just silly. The text on the inner sleeve appears to be a poor translation of the original festival blurb. The "Untitled" track is just the gap between the set and the encore and is notable only for allowing you to identify which audience members you'd like to slap.

The performance from the group is a strong one but they're fighting against the odds - Smith is low in the mix and not particularly present for chunks of the set. Also, he starts amp-twiddling pretty quickly so they're are fighting against whistling feedback thereafter.

No-one with any interest in quality control would release this. But....well, you all know by now.
