EX, THE
BLUEPRINTS FOR A BLACKOUT (EX RECORDS)
Re-release of the double LP with original artwork. 24-page LP-size magazine. Original release date: 1984.
"It's caustic. A real burner. (...) While still retaining an all important relevant edge to their musical comment , they've introduced elements of tunesmithing, attack, decay and composition that places them head and shoulders above their contemporaries." "Well-known venom, but the music becomes more experimental (i.e.
slower, richer, more stirring, fed by yet rather remarkable set of instruments) with every new release." Recorded at Joke's Koeienverhuurbedrijf, Schellingwoude, Netherlands.
