Extraordinairy tribute compilation from the German independent scene. - When God wanted to kill the music industry, he created the tribute album. From then on, boring bands played dull songs to exact notes, and untalented bands deconstructed good songs. To cry. The The-Fall tribute "Perverted by Mark E." pays homage to the great denier Mark E. Smith, listened to by non-affiliates such as anti-folk Jeffrey Lewis, Tom Liwas Punk-Schraddelcombo No Existe and dancefloor lateral thinker Knarf Rell?m. And because Alfred Hilsberg and the band Woog Riots compiled the whole thing, not only (but also) songs will be replayed here, but also new songs will be written. Sometimes the original results ("I dreamt I would be eating pizza with Mark E. Smith", Tocotronic), sometimes unnecessary homages ("Cannibal Man", Locust Fudge). There is also a total failure of Rockformation disco ball. Mark E. Smith may condemn the whole thing as absolutely horrific; so all this is justified. (f sharp)
