Fugazi - Margin Walker (1988)

Not strictly an album, this was their 2nd E.P released in '88. I remember buying this in '88 because A) they shared the same name as one of my favourite albums B) the cover is just whacked out and C) the local independent shop recommended it. I bought it on cassette and still own it on the same cassette today.

As this was amidst my extreme metal phase, I found this album a perfect antidote. Songs about anger, frustration and alienation but from a completely different perspective to what I was used to.

Happily the music has held up brilliantly. The production is raw but beautifully crisp. The music is packed with an emotional punch and provided a juxtaposition to the more agressive Hardcore I was listening to. Still one of my favourite bands.
