Description: The Fall’s fourth album was a masterpiece of forward-moving propulsion, its catchy grooves set into place by two drummers working in tandem. The opener “The Classical” was an instant classic – a tightly wound coil of energy that explodes in all directions into an unlikely and unforgettable chorus. The eerie, mantric repetition of “Hip Priest” (“Hip...Hip….Hip….Hip….”) made a memorable appearance in Jonathan Demme’s 1991 horror thriller Silence of the Lambs.
Description: The Teardrop Explodes were an English post-punk/neo-psychedelic band formed in Liverpool in 1978. Best known for their Top Ten UK single "Reward" (which is still a staple of 1980s alternative pop compilations), the group originated as a key band in the emerging Liverpool post-punk scene of the late 1970s.
