Cerebral Caustic

Originally released in 1995 on Permanent Records. This set has been curated in conjunction with Fall expert Conway Patton and has notes by Fall guru Daryl Easlea.

Cerebral Caustic is the seventeenth studio album by legends the Fall. First released in 1995, the album marked the return of former guitarist Brix Smith to the line up. Often an overlooked release in the Fall’s catalogue, Cerebral Caustic finds Mark E. Smith and co embracing the ‘wonderful and frightening’ sound of their earlier, critically-acclaimed Brix-era albums The Frenz Experiment and I Am Kurious, Oranj.

5CD - This box set includes alternative versions as well as an unreleased live show from Rennes, rough mixes and radio sessions from the era. Plus Twenty-Seven Points (that was also released in 1995), an album that consists of live recordings made in various locations between 1991 and 1995, but also contains interludes and two previously unheard studio tracks.
