Funny thing is, much as I love Peggy Suicide & Jehovahkill etc and value JC in his Krautrock-endorsing, Paleolithic-investigating, left-field drood-dom, my pop sensibilities also allow some love for My Nation Underground. I understand why he disowns it (or seems to) but it's not a bad collection of songs, played and produced in what is, I concede, a style removed from his then-prevailing sonic trajectory.
If you think of it as an album by a different artist then it can be abstracted from the Cope discography and enjoyed.
