Young Marble Giants- Colossal Youth. It pains me that I am too old and jaded to get away with making a record as wonderfully naive and untutored sounding as this masterpiece.


That really is one Unsung album.
I got it on CD (with bonus tracks) last year, after not hearing it for a good 25 years.
It's a piece of pure class!

It is indeed a strange and unique record, even by early '80s standards. Unsurprisingly it didn't work particularly well when I saw them play it live at ATP - the songs are much too hushed and intimate to come across in such surroundings, plus the between-song silences and breaks for re-tuning disrupted the flow of the album somewhat - but that doesn't detract from the compelling starkness of the original recordings.
