Description
Original pressing on Fresh Records (UK) from 1981. Not as well known as they should be probably since they were kind of a hybrid between post-punk and goth.
Condition: Vinyl = Near-Mint Cover = Near-Mint (gatefold)
NOTES: Theatrical post-punks with an unfortunately short lifespan, UK Decay provided a crucial bridge between such art-gloom bands as Bauhaus, PiL, Theatre of Hate and Killing Joke and the anarchy-punk camp led by Crass, Rudimentary Peni and Flux of Pink Indians. Quite unlike the politico/nasty-thrash image suggested by their name, UK Decay had a classical bent, both in frontman Abbo's theatrical intonations (think Shakespearian) and the complex, almost stately modalities of the music.
On For Madmen Only, the band's sole album, Steve Spon's five-string guitar produces a lucid, biting wash of sound — akin to John McKay's work on the first two Banshees albums — mated to (the now-deceased) Steve Harle's tribal drum patterns. (Contrary to reports, bassist Martyn "Segovia" Smith did not die during the making of the album and was, as of the late '90s at least, "alive and well and living in Luton.") No matter how ambitious or full of portent the group gets, the record remains invigorating; driving and angular, and an inestimable influence on the '82 positive punk movement (Sex Gang Children, Southern Death Cult, etc.).
