"The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum)" is fab.

I heard Tunnel Of Love for the first time in ages this morning and I'd forgotten just what a great song it was. Classic, as is nearly everything I've ever known Terry Hall to be involved in.

"waiting" is awesome if you can find it, really great from start to finish.

Does Le Dust Sucker's "Mandate My Ass" sample "Lunatics" or just sound like it? This has been bugging me for a while...

Oh, and utter classic in every way. As if it needed restating.

is the Specials off-shoot, in which case i say 'classic' just because heard some tracks on a friend's dad's cassette which were far from 'dud'...

First FB3 album is as shockingly skeletal and sparse as the first Tricky album (and an obvious influence on the latter). Second album is a bit too "produced"/"let's be a Proper Band" for my tastes but has one of the bleakest album closers ever - "Well Fancy That."

Didn't David Byrne produce one of their albums? Anyway, remember these words: it ain't what you do it's the way that you do it.

Lyric help please. What is the next line in the rap in Farmyard Connection?

Hey diddle diddle / policeman on the fiddle / he sold off the drugs to the man in the middle / He put it on a plane to Heathrow Central / it was picked up by a hippy in a Hertz car rental / drove it into town and split it up in parts / and he sold it to his friends at an ethnic party / they talked about life but missed all the points points points points points points points / they sat cross-legged and passed around the joints and...

... inhaled the West Indian exports.

Our Lips Are Sealed is my favourite song ever.

Ahhh thanks Ian. I could always hear the word West in there somewhere! Waiting is a fabulous record, so varied and ambitious.

12 years but you're right - I only noticed that now!

Just thought about FB3 yesterday, because the music to the "Wolfshager Hexenbrut" video that's been making the rounds ("Schuttel Deinen Speck") reminded me a bit of "It Ain't What What You Do."
