Most likely Penis Envy but there's so much good stuff.

It's.. Interesting.

Penis Envy is actually really good.
Stations, I voted for, is the one.
I had Feeding and Christ for ever, Christ has its moments but the whole grand package didn't work and they were better being swift and reactive.
I did get the cd reissues, I did notice that Steve didn't write that much after the first one, and Penny took over the writing to a greater extent, which is ironic..

Penis Envy. They're all great, but it's the one I listen to most.

Penis Envy and The Feeding of the 5000 are the ones I come back to the most

Did you guys know about this?
Basically, all the stems from the "Feeding of the 5000" album for you to remix etc, send it to them, and they put it on the forthcoming album.
Closing date is Aug 1st. Apparently they started this late last year.

Apologies for being obtuse but where do you download the stems?

I just saw that and I'm not really sure how I feel about it

That's a recipe for anarchy.
By the way, I saw Penny Rimbaud 'playing' in some absolutely abysmal improv thing earlier this year (or maybe last year).

they released a single already:

when I first saw I was like WTAF fuck off, but the idea isn't terrible, I suppose
I don't have a problem with Steve Ignorant playing Crass songs live, at all, and I may go and see him do it at some point, just don't call it Crass, which he doesn't

I think it's funny, experimental grime/dub/blah blah producers tearing their hair out trying to re-edit Crass onto a strict tempo map in their cracked versions of Fruity Loops Studio. I bet they mostly just use the vocals.

They do say "Do what you will, put it out if you like as long as you tell us" so I guess it's OK. And it's been on a while so I guess it's cool

(I guess I could realise my ambition to record "Do you owe me a tenner?")

If enough ppl cared we could do an ILX comp, but I doubt it.

lot of the punk received wisdom about these guys being better conceptually/lyrically/politically than musically is v backwards

"Feeding" and "Stations" are the punk albums. I don't think Steve Ignorant wrote much after "Feeding", or anything post "Stations"
"Penis Envy" should be held alongside the slits etc, even if much was written by Penny Rimbaud.
"Christ: The Album" was the big folly in both senses of the word, their "Rattle and Hum"
After that, it got a bit jazz.
Meanwhile, the Live band were doing the punk gigs..
There's more to their story, obv...
