Mark Stewart did some great lo-fi, megaphone-throated, highly-damaged
songs on his 3rd album (the one with the microchip on the cover).
Produced with Adrian Sherwood. It contains a cover of the theme song from
_Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (sp?)_ which starts off distorted and
creepy. By the end it has fallen apart, into a mess of tangled tape. You
can't go wrong.

This mentioned LP is I believe the 4th and maybe even the 5th LP of Mark
Stewart.
I've got a pile of 'em at home. I'll try to figure it out. Agreed on the
LP that is mentioned here,
but *do* look up " As the veneer of democracy starts to fade " . I'm
guessing early 80s?
This is similar to above mentioned but grittier and uglier and way more
Sherwood-y.
Definite precursor to a lot of the flat, distorted, minimal "electronica"
of today.
Did Mark Stewart die? I heard heart attack. I also heard heroin.
But I've learned to mistrust *all* rumors in the music industry.
Anyone?
