Geriatric Punks

my interest in Hunters and Collectors is really confined to this, their first lp. It's really a pretty good record; surrealistic lyrical collage over some thinky art-funk rhythms and a slow-burn climax. I also have their 3rd record Jaws of Life which is ok but definately the beginning of their "savious of pub-rock" sensibility, which i have little interest in. Their second record, The Fireman's Curse, is variously described as "anarchic" & "chaotic", but this fansite doesn't provide the mp3s it claims to offer. (http://www.humanfrailty.com)

I saw H&C in Dallas in about 1985? and they did nothing from the weird period, in fact i barely remember any musical moment at all. Oh well, at least they became huge in Australia. It does seem that with collection cds that i can probably find in the cheapie bins i can reconstruct the whole first record, and possibly earlier eps, if they're any good.

Here ends the worthless, monday morning pre-caffinated musings about a forgotten pop group. Does anyone have anything to offer regarding Hunters and Collectors? If not, I bid you all adieau!
