Actually, another Crass offshoot, Eve Libertine, used quite a few analog synths on some tracks for weird rhythmic synth-bubbling noises. Crass was hard-headed workingclass (really though? ;) ) punk that was at times very artistically open-minded. I used to have the Flux lp in question also. I became a bit tired of the gated drums and vocals, preferring Perennial Divide to give me the tribal beats and snare rolls. The cover was wallpapered with corporate logos; always liked that concept connected to that music. Nice graphics. solenoid@europa.com <------+
