Spherical Objects ‎– "Eliptical Optimism" (Object Music OBJ 004) 1979

Spherical Objects 'superior' second album. They must have shifted some units of the debut album, 'cus it sounds as if they went to a quality studio for this one. Whereas fellow Mancunian art-punks The Fall were sounding shitter in 1979, these boys went hi-fidelity, and even Disco(!) on a few of the tracks! Dunno if they were being ironic or not, if so its lost on me. That aside, this is a very inventive art-pop album in the Post Punk stylee. Even Steve (now Shirley by the way!?) Solomars' voice is less Monty Python Accountant goes Punk on this one.
