An Absolute Masterpiece
This is absolutely and without question the single album which got progressive rock out of the 1980s doldrums, although the rest of the genre still hasn't caught up. Spectacularly, it takes the esoteric Art Bears/Henry Cow aesthetic and infuses it with both punk attitude and symphonic grandeur, while still sounding totally original. Download this immediately, if not sooner, and then go buy "In Extremis" on Cuneiform.
