The Light User Syndrome

by The Fall

The Light User Syndrome cover art

Mark E. Smith's remarkably enduring post-punk institution integrated heavy electronic sequencing and chaotic synthesizer noise into their classic, repetitive guitar structures. The deeply cynical, cryptic lyrical observations clash aggressively with frantic, slightly danceable industrial rhythms. The incredibly dense and chaotic recording marks the final appearance of long-time keyboardist and crucial collaborator Brix Smith Start.
