The Fall - Blindness (Aug 12th 2004, Peel Session #24)

On this recording, part of The Fall's last Peel session, Mark E Smith sounds confident and threatening while his band sounds tight, unstoppable and high on speed. "Blindness" is the shortest 7 minutes song you've ever heard, urgent like a tracheotomia done on the sidewalk and definitely one of the highlights of the band's forthcoming Peel Sessions box-set. Fierce.
