The Fall - Ersatz-Unutterable-Imperial-etc.

 

  

This collection is my tribute to the late great Mark E Smith who sadly died a few days ago. I imagine most old Fall fans, on hearing of his passing, will listen to their earlier albums, but I've been a dedicated fan for 35+ years and I decided to concentrate on some of my favourite songs since the turn of the century. Maybe much of their later work wasn't of the high standard of those early days, many dismiss anything they recorded after the 1980s, but for me there were always at least 3 or 4 excellent songs on (almost) every studio album they released. I hope you all enjoy this collection of songs, and sink a beer or two in memory of the genius that was Mark Edward Smith.
