So much of their greatest work featured across epic 15 minute plus jams- ideal for the cassette format, but trickier for wax. But we’ve got there; 7 beauties which highlight the bands’ love for experimental electronica, kosmische \/ krautrock and prog perfectly- all underpinned with Rob’s superb often Gottsching-esque guitar work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA superb band, totally worthy of further investigation- massively recommended to anyone into any of the above, or that core of early UK electronic underground \/ cassette scene of Colin Potter, Paul Nagle, Neural Circus as well as overseas heavyweights like Conrad Schnitzler etc… \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polytechnic Youth","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50430769004875,"sku":"1153814","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2e531f68-cf0c-4087-a4fe-27bac5eba8d0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726851807","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/forget-the-lessons-of-the-past","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
