Flux Of Pink Indians, The Fucking Counts Treat Us Like Pricks, Spiderleg Rcds, 2xLp, 1984

So here is the second Flux record. More original, very unique but also very hard to listen a true experience, very trying. This album is about men and women relationships, especially violence ones, rape, as one of the member of the band had been sexually assaulted in his youth. A very impressive record.

The following of the article on wikipedia :
The band's second LP, The fucking counts treat us like pricks, was banned by retailers HMV, and copies were seized by Greater Manchester police from Eastern Bloc record shop, which was charged with displaying "Obscene Articles For Publication For Gain". The album concerned violence between men and women, based on the experiences of a band member who had been sexually assaulted.
By 1986 the band had shortened their name to Flux and released their third album Uncarved Block. This featured more philosophical lyrics, largely inspired by influences such as Zen Buddhism and Benjamin Hoff's book The Tao Pooh, coupled to percussion-heavy dance and funck based rhythms. Produced by Adrian Sherwood, and featuring several members of the On-U Sound Records label.
Birkett, making use of his experiences with Spiderleg, set up One Little Indians Records. He still uses the Flux title for occasional projects. Latter went on to form the dance-influenced Hotalacio and was joined by drummer Wilson and guitarist Middlehurst.
In 2007 the band re-formed for an intended one-off gig supporting ex-Crass vocalist Steve Ignorant for his "The Feeding Of The 5000" gig at London's Shepherds Bush Empire in November of that year. The "Strive To Survive" era line-up (Latter, Hunter and Wilson) was joined by ex-Decadence Within bass player Ian Glasper replacing Birkett, and as a result of their well-received set the band played another three gigs in 2008, in Bradford, Dijon and London.

I add their second ep Taking A Liberty, Spiderleg Rds, 1986. One of my favourite at that time. This one comes in a 24 pages booklet with texts and paintings. The rip contains scans of these, also all the lyrics of the 2xlp + full photos as usual.

Icastico,
You're certainly right, but I don't know, I've never heard about Blue Daisies. And your link doesn't point anything by them.
Nevertheless I've heard a lot of pretty sound by Aboombong.
Thanks for your comment.

Makes me think of "Wilt" by Blue Daisies...for some reason.
