Room To Live - Flying Out

FALL, THE

Room To Live

FORMAT

On Room To Live, The Fall take the hurried, all-or-nothing approach of their preceding Kamera Records releases to extreme ends. Forged via Mark E. Smith's continual disassembling of players and focus on previously unrehearsed material, the album collects The Fall's most experimental and improvisational recordings. As proclaimed on the album cover, "Undilutable Slang Truth!" would be revealed throughout Room To Live. With the album's comparatively lo-fi production and always- teetering performances, the title track comes closest to a stab at pop (by The Fall's standards), built on fantastically bent saloon swaying under one of Smith's by-now characteristic dressing-downs of square life. Detective Instinct is an unshakeable creeper, as languid and ominous as the band would get during the Marc Riley years. Marquis Cha Cha is a post-punk rhumba, beginning with fury and then easing into something only The Fall could conjure. Superior Viaduct's edition is the first time that Room To Live has been available on vinyl domestically since it's initial release in 1982. Liner notes by Brian Turner.
