Product Description

CD Description

1990's EXTRICATE is among The Fall's most personal and least political albums. Recorded immediately after former Fall guitarist Brix Smith left both her husband, Mark E. Smith, and his band, EXTRICATE has little of the pop influence Brix had brought to the band during her six-year tenure. The reversion to The Fall's more abrasive pre-Brix sound is helped bythe return of early Fall guitarist Martin Bramah to the fold. His distinctively scratchy guitar sound is one of the album's defining elements, the other being the near-obsessive venom Smith pours on his ex-wife, especially in the explosiveopener "Sing! Harpy".
Elsewhere, the band enthusiastically tackles "Black Monk Theme Parts I and II" by the then-obscure '60s avant-garde band The Monks and works up a jagged wall of noise behind traditional Smith rants like "Arms Control Poseur" and "British People In Hot Weather". EXTRICATE is one of The Fall's finest efforts.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the great Fall-albums., 8 April 2002
By Jason Parkes "We're all Frankies'" (Worcester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This was the mid-period of The Fall's brief foray into the world of pop- Brix had just left following the contractual 'Seminal Live'. So, there was a new-ish line-up, a new label and it was 1990...'Sing Harpy!' is the strange opener- this reminds me of Can & sounds a lot better than Happy Mondays of this period...Next up is the amusing 'I'm Frank'- about Zappa?- one of those fine rockabilly riffs like 'Fiery Jack' or 'Rowche Rumble'...'Bill is Dead' is a ballad- not one of the things The Fall were/are renowed for (though subsequent songs 'Edinburgh Man' & 'Pittsville Direkt' would be in this maudlin mode)...'Popcorn double feature' is a silly cover- a thing the Fall had been doing since 'Mr Pharmacist', 'Ghost in My House' & 'Victoria'. Next we get a Monks cover: 'Black Monk Theme Part I'- which is excellent. Better is 'Arms Control Poseur', the bastard offspring of 'Bremen Nacht' & 'Oswald Defence Lawyer'. Then we have 'Black Monk Part II'- which is not as good as I...Single 'Telephone Thing' is next- a cracking Coldcut collaboration that would predict the best MES records to come ('Plug Me In', 'The Chisellers', 'Free Range'). Next we get flip-side 'British People in Hot Weather', which is as silly as 'Australians in Europe'. Then we have epic 'Chicago Now!', a brooding soundtrack inflected song. Then we get some dumb filler, 'And There In' etc. before the stunning title track- which is as arresting as it was in 1990...'Extricate' is one of The Fall's finest albums, easily as good as 'Dragnet', 'Hex Enduction Hour', 'This Nation's Saving Grace', 'Shiftwork' & the last album (but one)'The Unutterable'.
