Trip Dispenser). This show also circulates under the name "Hilversum,

"... not even
young Brix! ... All this at around 45 minutes of gig for £4.50
... I often think of Fall songs as being sketches which always manage
to transcend their half-worked ineptitude, and of their being able to
do this because E. Smith’s stony idiom, diction and phraseology
(not to say sheer sonic imagination) always act as a permanent incident.

Belfast", Melody Maker, 3 November 1984, p. 20). No tape exists?

"The
Hacienda was full ... God knows what they must have thought of
the dickheads who shouted for the six year old 'Rowche Rumble'.
... Not content with having regressive vision, the crowd plunged
further into the depths of mindlessness. When the Fall were offstage
in between encores, the imbeciles decided to show off their obscene
vocabulary, seemingly in an effort to impress each other. I mean,
can you see the point in paying £3.50 to see a band and
then spend ten minutes calling them "sods/ lazy bastards/
miserable fuckers/ a bunch of wankers"? I can't. ... a band
as vibrant and stimulating as the Fall deserve a better class
of audience. (Milly Rhener, "The Fall, Hacienda 18th October
1984," Debris, no. 7, April 1985).
The flyer
advertised the gig for October 25 - they moved the Hacienda gig
up a week. |

"The wall of
rhythm generated by the Hanleys and the great and loyal Karl Burns is
huge and brutal. Craig Scanlon and Brix Smith drill shockingly harsh
metallic guitars into the heart of the beast. Where the babblings of
the wordSmith used to be a constituent part of an urban guerilla cell
- mercurial, fragmented, chancy - they now find themselves riding atop
Krupp’s wet dream, a black, invincible war machine. The noise
is crude, cruel, inescapable and authoritarian. Smith has always been
a lucky bastard, chucking his writing bag of words into the music like
a carcass into a set of propellers, to watch the results spin off not
as gore and offal, but diamonds, a tour de force of inexplicable sorcery.
(Danny Kelly, "H.E.L.P.!: The Fall, London Lyceum," NME, 10
November 1984, p. 46.)
