Fractionals

While putting more stuff on the iPod tonight I was reminded of the infinite genius of the amazing, unheralded, disbanded and too good for this world Prolapse and especially their The Italian Flag album. "Killing the Bland" may have saved my life once, and the only reason TIF wouldn't make a list of my top ten albums of all time would be that I'd forgotten about it (I do that a lot, sadly, and not just with Prolapse). The above song, "Pull Through Barker," is not from The Italian Flag. In fact, if allmusic is to be trusted, it's not on any of their albums, and certainly not on the two I own. It's still a pretty good introduction to their genius, although the Linda Steelyard/Mick Derrick interaction isn't quite as psychotic as it could sometimes get.
