The Infotainment Scan was a surprising pop breakthrough for The Fall. The album broke into the Top 10 UK albums chart, and featured an infectious cover of the 1979 Sister Sledge disco anthem Lost in Music, originally written by Chic’s Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. Listening to Smith howling Lost in Music, with an ace backing band, made you realize that The Fall’s endless repetition and rhythmic groove was sort of disco all along. This later-period Fall album showed that Smith hadn’t yet run out of ideas.

Glam Racket bounces along impressively on some Glitter Band style drums and Paranoia Man in Cheap Shit Room is again classic Fall.
