400 Blows - "...If I Kissed Her I'd Have To Kill Her First..."

I have finally gotten around to re-ripping the debut 400 Blows LP from 1984. A sublime mix of indie-techno-funk, dub, industrial noise and sampling. The pivotal track is six minute interview with Charles Manson, For Jackie M, however the highlights for me (and many others) are the superb hard indie-funk of Groove Jumping and Declaration Of Intent. The country bumpkin beat of Them Thar Hills is very out of place, like a deliberate ploy to confuse and distract. Released at about the same time, this record sits perfectly alongside 23 Skidoo's Urban Gamelan.

Ripped from a vinyl album released on Illuminated Records (JAMS 42) in 1984 to high quality lossless flac audio
