gang of four is a bit like writing off for the perfect 'build yr own' band with all the right parts (slashing guitar noise, funk in the bones, cool situ-y politics, modernist edge, interesting eclecto-influences) receiving it and going "oh dear, bit on-the-nose actually, bit meh", play it few times, forget it, get back to something that doesn't glibly fit with lil ol you but you're naggingly puzzled/fascinated by...
i like ether, tourist and a few others but always thought this one really slapped:
great bass, vocal, contained scratchy syncop guitar, propa funkstyle punk
all building up to that one explosive kissoff/cumoff chorus
