As well as The Diagram Brothers, and Dislocation Dance, Andy Diagram was in The Mud Hutters; a lo-fi prog-punk combo who could obviously play their instruments.That's right, a post punk group that included musicians!? Especially impressed by the jazz rock drumming of 'Muddy Dick' (Who I assume was Richard Harrison? Who played with such liminaries as God Is My Co-Pilot,Sterolab,and of course, Dislocation Dance, among many others)
This 33rpm 7" EP, fitted in nicely with the DIY look;the hand printed sleeve,appropriately muddy sound, standard junior typewriter typeface, and a bunch of unpretentious choons.
"No God" has a disposable John Barry-esque melody line that would not have gone unplaced on an early Dislocation dance record.
Tracklist:
A1 No God
A2 Nice Guy/Left Right
B1 All About
B2 Neolithic Dub

Not only was the music good but they didn't mince their words when it came to band names.
I have to say, this quality of music was not what i had expected when i saw the name 'Mud Hutters'.
Hoping to see a post for their "Factory Farming" LP (which is the only vinyl I never got and lost my rip in a drive crash several years back). Cheers, M.
And so you shall young man, so you shall. Freshly ripped in gorgeous 320k.
