Pop Will Eat Itself shuffled up onto my playlist, which placed them in prime position for today's post and half a dozen videos from YT.
I vaguely recalled that I had posted Wise Up! Sucker previously and I checked out the Dubhed archive. Sure enough, I had posted a link... on 27th May 2021.
Spooky!
I love these songs as much now as I did then. What an incredible band PWEI were.
1) Def.Con.One (1988)
2) Can U Dig It? (1989)
3) There Is No Love Between Us Anymore (1988)
4) Wise Up! Sucker (1989)
5) Ich Bin Ein Ausländer (1994)
6) Touched By The Hand Of Cicciolina (1990)
I don't listen to PWEI too much these days, but whenever they come up on random shuffle, I'm reminded just how impressive they were from Def Con One onwards (the early stuff didn't and still doesn't do much for me)
ReplyDeleteI loved Grebo Guru, which introduced me to PWEI and I enjoy the early stuff, though it's a bit like The Shamen and The Beloved - all evolved their music so much that it's almost like two different bands in each case.
DeleteFunny you mentioned PWEI. New single and tour announced today. Seems they've had a lineup change too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg3f7l51yWY
ReplyDeleteThat was sheer coincidence, blureu, I had no idea PWEI were touring or making new music!
DeleteI saw PWEI live at the first Phoenix Festival in 1993 and they were great. This time, they're playing at two venues relatively close to me...but I'm not sure.
