My favourite album by them easily

And The Love Parade is my favourite single. I bought TSOP on LP at the same time I bought Extra Texture, another maligned and underselling soul album by a rock artist (Sin of Pride easily being better though).

just one of those classic things where for years I just listened to some conventional wisdom (punk band goes slick/sells out or whatever), then finally gave it a spin. Not just now, years ago, but still, revisited it today and it's really good.

do people rate positive touch? i've only ever owned/listened hypnotised and peel sessions and love both dearly. and am digging sin of pride so far (a few songs in)

I really like Positive Touch. Probably my second favourite behind Hypnotised. My only complaint is that the single version of Julie Ocean is so much better than the album version. It might even be my favourite song of theirs.

Yeah it's an Outdoor Miner situation. They even sound vaguely similar.

Right! I almost used that very example. I could listen to that outro to Julie Ocean forever. It's so beautiful.

Oh Positive Touch is my favorite album by then. I just had given up after that due to "conventional wisdom" re: Pride of Sin. Positive Touch is a masterpiece.

Same. Not that I don’t like the prior albums though.
