three weeks pass...
In fact I'm thinking about doing something I've never done before: ordering the Japanese EPs off of Discogs just to get decent-quality versions of the b-sides so I can attempt a proper re-do
so absolutely no one asked for or even wants this but I've always thought the version of make this your own that has existed in my mind for years would be worth a shot for anyone who ever had an interest in this band, or in the weirder corners of british rock in general. so I did in fact order those EPs and make my own b-side rips and toyed around with a bunch of different sequences. in the end I went for a weird distended hourlongish sequence that touches on post-rock, emo, synth-pop, and one song that approaches something like digital doom metal. basically an even wilder version of Kick up the Fire... that's more tonally diverse and quite a bit looser. Anyway, hopefully anyone finds it enjoyable so I'll feel slightly less insane to have been so fixated on a set of sessions not even fans of this extremely marginal band seemed to much care about
anyway here's the sequence and, for the fuck of it, my mix/edit, w/ b-sides asterisked
theme from mayhem* / homo sapiens / damage / for the last time* / connect / pulling shapes* / head / the clan* / take comfort / what have you gone and done? / talking to pylons* / all I see is you / once more with feeling / house of cards

That was the only song I originally liked haha
Anyway this is God's work (if God is very very weird) and I'm grateful - will download and listen later!

i have to say simon h, your dedication to the cause is admirable.
I only have the 2cd edition of their debut, and 'kick up ..' so no idea re 'damage',
but I have dropped the debut on the playlist now as it has been a very long time.
I am in the mood for synth infested guitar noise.
