Anyone remember them ?

Formed by former Hallé Orchestra percussionist Dick Witts and Fall bassist Tony Friel in 1978, the band issued two EPs on esoteric indie label Object Music before fracturing the following year, leaving Witts to record Pindrop virtually solo. A dense, brooding, claustrophobic album, dominated by layered keyboards and incisive vocal texts, contemporary critics put Pindrop on a par with Joy Division and Wire.

The above blurb, caused me to snaffle this on its release. Its a lie.

I not only remember them, I bought everything they put out, and saw them pay on So It Goes. The EPs with Friel are OK, but the band took off after he left and DW got some women in the band. Pindrop wasn't all that, I thought, but they put out some singles that I really enjoyed - XOYO, Waves, Taboos and Troops Out were pretty fine, but the one I liked the most was Devils and Angels.
I'm on my laptop, which has lost the ability to make sounds, so I can't guarantee that this youtube upload is any good...

Ah, yes I remember now.



I had this single as well. I think it was out before the album. I obviously forget I had heard them at the time.

Fishy will be a fan.
