"The Fall -- always different, always the same," according to John Peel. The Fall was his favourite band. Formed in early 1977, they’ve released around 50 singles, 25 studio albums, and well over 50 live and compilation albums (although it seems like more). In August 2004 they recorded their 24th and sadly final John Peel Session.
The band has gone through numerous personnel changes over the years (there have been well over 30 different line-ups so far), and at present consists of New Musical Express Godlike Genius Award for Services to Music winner Mark E. Smith, his wife, Elenor Smith and some young Americans - One of whom has a very impressive beard.
Dear Client / Clients [pls. delete as appropriate dependant on on how you are feeling today], Please decrease your medication and give any of the left-overs [including any partially chewed remnants] to Nursie, who will naturally give you a reciept which will be valid for swaps for a period of 1 week. We are currently ripped off our tits on the new jollop that the courier has just arsed in from our labs in Zurich. At $20 each, the current batch of Didactothwackerol 200mg's are a proper good buzz when ringed, and unusually, they are also a surprisingly good smoke [albeit a little rough on the tonsils], particularly if crushed up with a fistfull of Prolekreig 400mg's and a spoonfull of meths. If you would like us to save you some, please send cash only this time [no kites], small denominations only etcetera.... Don't call us... We'll call you... Kindliest regrads... A.Psychiatrist [dictated - not read]
N.B. Due to Nursies keen observance over her stockings, both the stunnozine and strontium 90 suppositories are now fantastic value at only fiver each [as opposed to 2 for a tenner as previously striated]... please speak any of the other longer terms patients for further details.
which fall line up was the worst. they were all just awful werent they ? mark smith still has mark hoyles spare set of teeth. they must be returned with immdiate effect. anyway, its good to see youre still making noise for the benefit of 40 odd year old men, they'd have nowhere else to go if it werent for you.

With an assembly that includes members of Ministry (Warner Bros.) and Thrill Kill Kult (Rykodisc), it's obvious project .44 has a firm grasp on the aggro/industrial/tek metal scene...
