Great piece, Ian. I never got into Nitzer Ebb, Laibach, etc., just a tad too jack-booty for me. I did like Neubauten and that side of things, though. You mentioned Pussy Galore and World Domination Enterprises in the same sentence - this, perhaps, is a clue that you, too, were at that fabulous LSE gig in early 1988? Seen thousands of gigs, but when a conversation on "gigs of your life' starts up, I always drag this one out. I'd seen World Dom open for The Shamen and Husker Du at T&C Club and hated them. But two songs into their PG support and I was a fan.
Thanks Christopher. I wasn't at the LSE gig and my late 80s memories are really hazy. I can't recall if I saw WDE.... though I still have and still play their 2 albums!
