混沌から脱却しつつ変容していった此の3枚目のラストアルバム以降は、"Float Up CP"と成るが1枚で惜しくも解散。其の後ソロと成り売れたNeneh Cherryは、様々なコラボレーションと"CirKus"を経て、フリージャズバンド"The Thing"と"Neneh Cherry & The Thing"として2012年6月に1stアルバムをリリースする。Suicide, Stooges, Ornette Coleman, Madvillain等のカバーが非常に興味深い。

2011/11/28記

The Pop Groupからファンクとフリージャズを抽出し、モードとしてノスタルジックな映画と美術のエッセンスを散りばめた類稀なバンド。インプロに終始した断片も多いが、ポップスへの憧憬目線も有るところが素晴らしい。21世紀版を是非見てみたい。

"Alternative TV"のライヴ限定バンドで"The Pop Group"のメンバーも参加。過去ライヴは4〜5回ほどで本盤はその一部から。

"Wire"同様、当時「ロック以外の何か」を探していたバンドは数少ないが、彼ら（ATV）ほど支離滅裂なまでに貪欲な吸収力を持ったバンドはいない。悲しいかな実験のほとんどは成功していないが、本盤はライヴならではの即興性が上手くプラスに働いたようだ。ほとんどがインプロじゃないのか、という構成を持つ此の音を聴く限り、Jazzは可能性を押し広げる有効な手段だと思わざるを得ない。

2007年にVinal JapanからリリースされたCDには、2枚の7"（Single+EP）がボーナス収録。

今年9月の再結成以来、New Albumどころか全CD再発の音沙汰も無いのでイライラして2ndをアップ。1stに引き続きRhinoに良い仕事をして欲しいのだが。さらに当時のアナログ初回版に付属の大判ポスター（モノクロ両面）も原寸で再現希望だが、100%無理だろうと今回は音と併せて4枚両面全てをアップ。なお裏ジャケは逆さまが正しい。

Y Recordsではなく、Stiff Records (US)よりリリースされた、メガヒットのB1を含む美味しい12inch。

と、そのオリジナル7inch。すべてが最高だが、どちらも最後に各タイプの異なるPunk Jazzなトラックがチョーカッコエエ。
