This Heat's Deceit LP may not be particularly representative of this extremely-experimental band's usual style, but it is by far their most satisfying effort.
Its UK art-student members (three of them) decided that the world was in such turmoil and peril in 1981 that the situation called for writing music and performing it, despite their 100% lack of musical experience.
We were killing ourselves with nuclear weapons and energy; our psuedo-democratic institutions were failing us, and the Writing Is On the Wall. If this wasn't a time for an Urgent “GOD HELP US IF WE DON'T SAVE OURSELVES” Cry for Self-Help, when in the Hell Would It Ever Be??
In 1981 I was 16. I didn't hear the Deceit LP until about 1986. When I was 21. Had it become less urgent? Hell no. Reagan was President!!! He'd been re-elected easily.
