Recorded at the Cambridge Junction, 1995; the Roskilde Festival, Denmark, 1996; and the Phoenix Festival, 1996 [17] The Hanley/Burns/Riley line-up play with precision and abandon, sympathetic to Smith at his most scathing and brilliant. Personally I disagree with Mark E’s assertion (in retrospect) that this was the first time he was “At a point where I knew I was alone with my ideas”. How could Smith take credit for those bass-lines and playing?

Thanks to Mark Brown for the Sounds review, signed by Johns Peel and Walters, and Matthew Worley for the NME. My memories of the tour were that my sister’s band Pel Mel supported at least on the Sydney dates. I saw the Musos Club date, Stranded and also at least one of the Trade Union nights. I think the other date (the missing one) was in the suburbs – possibly Bexley Hotel which Ken used to use sometimes. City Show wasn’t a venue – it would have meant an unbooked show they were counting on in the city. But they will not free me... Can you turn the monitors up, please?... diseased..."

Thanks to Manchester District Music Archive for the ad. The curse of real ale sweeps the UK. Soon it will be here. Watch out for it! Oxo cubes dilute." (amended lyrics to "Mere Pseud Mag Ed") This era, a favourite period amongst many critics and fans, was marked by Brix's effort to find a wider audience for the Fall. They achieved a few modest UK hits with singles, including their versions of R. Dean Taylor's " There's a Ghost in My House" (no. 30, 1987) and the Kinks' " Victoria" (no. 35, 1988) and their own songs " Hey! Luciani" (no. 59, 1986) and " Hit the North" (no. 57, 1987), [24] and enjoyed a string of critically acclaimed albums: The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall (1984), This Nation's Saving Grace (1985), Bend Sinister (1986), and The Frenz Experiment (1988). I Am Kurious, Oranj is notable as the fruit of a ballet project between Smith and dancer Michael Clark. Simon Rogers and later Marcia Schofield played keyboards. Paul Hanley quit during the tour supporting The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall, and Simon Wolstencroft replaced other drummer Burns after This Nation's Saving Grace. Wolstencroft becoming sole drummer shifted the group's sound; his drumming was described as "nimble" and "funky" when compared to Burns. [21] In 2014 Wolstencroft published a memoir You Can Drum But You Can't Hide [25] about his 11-year stint in the Fall.Jaw-Bone and the Air Rifle is a pinnacle of Smiths pagan mystic story-telling. It’s a surrealist parable which will forever baffle and delight. Musically wonderful too.
