The Passage

Pindrop (1980) ...

Post-punk Mancunian art rock ...led by Halle timpanist Dick Witts...

Watching You Dance (Carnival of Souls) ...




pindrop is a murky, swirling, pulsating mass. drums are pounded urgently, with organ and voice wavering in and out of the mix like some kind of aural phantasy. composition plays second fiddle to the lyrics, which are often buried in the mix anyway. alienating, even disorienting! and engineered to sound like it was recording in the same olde back alley recording studio where lynch's eraserhead soundtrack was mastered. pindrop is easily one of the most mysteriously brilliant albums ever" ... thepassage.co.uk
