What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

HUNTERS & COLLECTORS "what's a few men?" cd,1987.

Aussie indi post-punk outfit from Melbourne...
this is their fifth album i think(fourth or fifth anyway), plenty of their trademark sounds on htis one, probably the one that they 'came of age' with IMO.
always on the outer here, more of a, underground/cult following than mainstream success, album reached #16 here, four singles released, the highest charting one was "do you see what i see?" peaking at #33.
album was retitled "fate" in Europe and US...why i dont know, and for what reason i have no idea as the title is not offensive, nor is it similar to any other chart topping album title from what i remember, but whatever, a decent enough raw and edgy sounding collection of tracks, no bad ones on here IMO, the only problem is that there is little variation in the sounds recorded, but the melodies make up for that and why fiddle with a formula that they want to use?!
slightly surprised by the score, thought it a bit high so i went back and re listened to it again just to make sure and got the exact same score...never thought of this as being a great album but the score says otherwise, and the thing that bothers me most is that allmusic gives it the exact same converted score...!
sorry for the lack of links available!
