Pop Will Eat Itself - The Looks Or The Lifestyle - Remastered And Expanded 2CD
In 1992, PWEI took the radical step of recruiting a drummer, one Fuzz Townsend. After honing their hip hop / techno / rock fusion over three previous albums, The LooksOr The Lifestyle saw them take a more traditional, song orientated approach, whilst managing to retain their live popularity and increase their commercial success. The record bore several hit singles ( Karmadrome , Bulletproof , Get The Girl! Kill The Baddies )
and also introduced them to a new audience in the wake of the grunge explosion of 1991.
Spread across 2CDs, this set presents a fascinating insight into the album s development, containing nine of the band s own bedroom demos for the album, recorded before the recruitment of a drummer (including a song which was never released), alongside the best of the b-sides and remixes from this period in their career and a promo only version of Get The Girl!
Accompanied by sleeve-notes by the band s own Adam Mole, an essay on this period and some fantastic archive images, this package provides a fascinating insight into a very successful era of change in PWEI s career.
A must have package for any PWEI fan, and a brilliant showcase of a remarkable album. This record has international appeal and promises to put the band s trailblazing career under the microscope again.
