The Fall - Cruiser's Creek (Beggars Banquet)

Yet another riff that makes you wonder how the Monkees ever did without it, and reinforces the Fall as just extraordinary (in the humblest sense). Brix lets loose a stinging guitar stutter that, backed with a split splat drum and Mark's sock-in-mouth vocals, remains one of the most exciting, raw sounds around. Great stuff to annoy the neighbours with. The AA side 'LA' should be listened to as well - it's not a B-side. (Andy Strickland, Record Mirror, October 12, 1985)

Perhaps Mark Smith is bored by now with his "Last Angry Young Man" label. Here he delivers his story in an economic pulsator with an excellent guitar twist that you don't want to stop. And it doesn't. Single Of The Fortnight. (Paul King, Smash Hits, October 23, 1985)
