The Fall: Hex Enduction Hour (Kamera)
Colin Irwin, Melody Maker, 6 March 1982
OF COURSE, YOU don't actually review a Fall LP. You hover in the shadow of the aura and attempt to catch some of the sparks flying around in all directions. You grapple and you sweat and you suffer until it's time to try and con everyone else you even begin to comprehend the strange ranting mind of Mark E. Smith.
