After your post I'm reticent to take a punt on 16 Horsepower though. Can anyone recommend the best place to start with them?
Secret South is their best IMHO
Low Estate's dang good too
Seconded. And their version of Joy Division's 'Day Of The Lords' is extraordinary enough to almost eclipse the original.
Incidentally, I know that there are a few Crime & The City Solution afficianados here so you'll appreciate the news that Simon Bonney has reformed Crime around original(ish) members Alex Hacke (Neubauten) and his wife Bronwyn. New members are David Eugene Edwards (16HP/Woven Hand) on guitar and Jim White on drums. Due to announce a world tour next Tuesday and a new album for Mute in the can :-)
