I'm pretty sure there have been a number of posts about Disappears on this board, even discounting Steve's (former) membership.

Not a surprise that you got into Disappears early, since you dig Spacemen 3 and similar-ish bands. Right now I think
Irreal is their fucking BEST.
Lux and
Guider established the band's identity;
Pre Language gave the style critical mass, a harder rocking bite and (as good as the first two albums are) took 'em out of the one-trick pony danger.
Era and
Irreal sound darker and more idiosyncratic to me, but while the former is rather monochromatic in its opression (I do need to give it more spins, though), the latter is, for their standards, virtually bursting with dynamics. So if you don't get into
Irreal you're in for some serious bitch-slapping.

That LP is THE SHIT. Faithful to Bowie's album, but (as far as I know) performed just with two guitars, bass, drums... and an arsenal of effects pedals — that's how they managed to make the guitars sound exactly like the keyboards on "Warszawa", I guess! The final moments of "Always Crashing In The Same Car" and "A New Career In A New Town", on the other hand, recall Television's dirtier (read: live) sound, at least a bit.
Now, if you're gonna reply to any of this, do your best to make it concise, insightful and to the point, because I have an apocalyptic computer virus ready to jump into your system if once again you ramble the fuck on and bore us to death.
