The Mekons

This EP gives you some idea what Natural must have sounded like as it was being written -- three tracks are instrumental versions of tunes from that album, two cuts are non-LP instrumentals that apparently never qualified for lyrics, and the final minute is a repetitive chant that instructs one to "Go up Hard and High." In other words, it's for die-hards only. Sounds like it was more fun to play than it is to hear, but there are still some hints of mystic power in its droning casualness.
