Complete Recordings

Afflicted Man, “Complete Recordings” (Senseless Whale, undated; original releases 1979-1982)
A.M.’s mastermind Steve Hall was a survivor of Britain’s early ‘70s psych/hard-rock scene who popped back up at the dawn of U. K. hardcore punk. The result was a unique and staggering synthesis – urban-wasteland powerchord riff-rumble as a launchpad for cyclopean tower-blocks of noise-guitar scree. Gives “psych-punk” a whole new meaning.
