Complete your Test Dept. I'm surprised this album and many other titles from their early years don't have a proper remaster and reissues on audiophile 180gr. From 1981 early tracks to 1987's Terra Firma ( the title track sucks big time but the rest is damn good) they were among the big names of one of the best genres of the 80s.
Their approach was marked by the use of "found" material, re-constructed to better serve their purpose, of making "more" with "less". The group formed in the London suburb of New Cross in 1981. The core members of the group were Graham Cunnington, Paul Jamrozy, Jonathan Toby Burdon, Paul Hines and Angus Farquhar.
This album has an average beat per minute of 117 BPM (slowest/fastest tempos: 81/151 BPM). Tracklist Beating the Retreat. Get the Tempo of more than 6 Million songs.
Though the album has an aimlessness to it, the presence of several ambient tracks broadens the palate.
