Ascension
THOUGHT CRIMINALS - Chrono-Logical 2LP
$44.95
Includes large 8-page, full colour glossy insert.
Highly recommended by Strangeworld.
One of the great 'lost' first-wave Australian punk bands. In fact, I'd go as far as to call them one of the best of any country. This 2LP anthology starts off with early-Wire-esque buzzsaw bounciness and added hilarious snotty lyrics, but then their later stuff mellows to the point that they sound like an early Flying Nun band. "More Suicides Please", "Fuck the Neighbours" and "Fun" are among the highlight anthems, but "La Mer" stands out with it's unusual prettiness and melancholy.
