BEND SINISTER/THE 'DOMESDAY' PAY-OFF TRIAD-PLUS! • Remastered • Newly transferred from analogue tapes • Double LP, gatefold sleeve with inner bags. • Includes replica program for the Riverside production of ‘Hey Luciani!’ • Double CD contains 6 unreleased songs, casebound, and includes 24-page booklet with notes by Daryl Easlea Bend Sinister was The Fall’s ninth studio album, originally released in 1986. It was the last of three albums in a row produced by John Leckie and was named after a dystopian novel by Vladimir Nabokov. After the universal acclaim for the previous year’s This Nation’s Saving Grace, Bend Sinister often stands in its predecessor’s shadow. It is a dark, brooding album made at the height of the group’s Beggars Banquet years and many people include this at the top of the list of favorite Fall albums. From Bend Sinister, “Mr. Pharmacist” is a lurching installment in pop music’s ongoing conversation with drug dealers, illicit and otherwise. Actually a cover of 1960s garage-rockers the Other Half, it’s also a demonstration of how the Fall’s relatively unchanging style could bolster other people’s songs.- PITCHFORK
