Fall leader Mark E. Smith had never been satisfied with the sound of 1983`s PERVERTED BY LANGUAGE, so this CD release has been completely remixed. This is not only The Fall`s best-sounding album-it may well be the group`s best album, period. PERVERTED BY LANGUAGE is an important record in The Fall`s long and prolific career, as it begins a six-year stretch during which the band released one excellent album after another--each filled with such intelligent, knotty, and increasingly pop-oriented songs as LANGUAGE`s "Eat Y`self Fitter," "Smile," and "I Feel Voxish." LANGUAGE is also the first album to feature Smith`s then-wife Brix on guitar. The CD includes five tracks previously available only on singles, including 1982`s amazing "Kicker Conspiracy," a funny and appealing song about football.
