this is why it's tough that so much of the dissensus canon is not conducive to album format
there should definitely be a couple dub LPs but I'm again not qualified enough to pickKeith Hudson, Playing It Cool.
I'd prefer Shut Up + Dance - Dance Until the Police Come, but I like your thinking there
runs into the same problem as its RIO companion, Henry Cow, of being too self-consciously outre
PiL already covers that territory better, in dissensus terms
ideal dissensus music is fwd and possibly (tho not necessarily) outre but still pop music at its heart, even if that heart is well obscured
Lord knows we've tried!
Joy Division - whichever LP of theirs k-punk favored
the problem with the situation is that the person one is trying to convince is TOTALLY empowered. they can just (metaphorically) sit there with their arms folded and everything you produce they just go (winces).
and you find yourself, you know, scrabbling around trying to show things in their best light - making an ass of yourself. and then sometimes, just to keep the game going, they will chuck you a bone - "oh yeah that's ok" or "i quite like that"
and you can't make head or tail of why one thing passes their acid test and another doesn't...
it's a fool's errand trying to convince people of things like that. i always remember - pathetically - trying to convince my trance friends of the validity of jungle - and the pain it caused me...

Who do you think I am?!
I’m not some medieval princeling or a Nordic trickster taskmaster! I’ll like a house song if someone plays it to me.
He's lying!
