The Fall – Seminal Live – Cassette

Seminal Live is a live album by the British post-punk band The Fall. This album was released in 1989 and captures the band’s energetic and often unpredictable live performances.

The Fall, led by the iconic and enigmatic Mark E. Smith, was known for their distinctive sound, characterized by Smith’s distinctive vocals and the band’s innovative approach to post-punk music. Seminal Live is a testament to their raw and uncompromising live presence.

The Fall’s contractual obligation album. With Brix leaving (or left, depending on your history) the group, this is a hastily assembled selection of what sound like Frenz Experiment outtakes and nine live tracks, their last for Beggars Banquet. These opening five tracks would have made a nice EP supporting the single “Deadbeat Descendant,” the first song featured on the album. They’re not among their best, but “H.O.W. (History of the World)” has a certain grim stateliness to it, with a grungy bassline by Hanley leading the group. “Pinball Machine” continues in Smith’s long line of rockabilly covers.

The album features live renditions of some of The Fall’s well-known songs, including “Dead Beat Descendant” and “Pinball Machine,” among others. The live setting allows the band to showcase their improvisational and experimental tendencies.

The Fall are highly regarded within the post-punk and alternative music scenes. Seminal Live captures the band’s live intensity and is recommended for fans of The Fall who appreciate their unique and influential sound.
