Nude Spoons The Associates

I thought I'd highlight another Associates song as "Party Fears Two" gets talked about so much. I always thought "Nude Spoons" was the most startling song on 'Sulk'. It's absolutely manic with a hurtling momentum and MacKenzie sounds possessed. Amazing stuff really, any other fans of this track?

It really is a massively unpleasant cacophony. And utterly gay. It sounds like a camp frog march with someone being suffocated by the sergeant major.This really was the low point for music , wasn't it.

Rubbish.
What it is is impossibly exciting and exotic. Rankine's spiralling guitar duels with Mackenzie in an emotional rollercoaster that gives the record a frenzied delirium. There's nothing very conventional about it which will mean it will divide opinion, but that's why they were great.

Reel your neck in. It is dreadful, mad and borderline psychotic. i have heard more tuneful kittens being drowned.
