Another track of note is the almost Bunnymen-like "Love Me," with its bongo-like opening percussion leading into a garage/psych jam. "Polar Opposites" begins the set with its mix of low and high keyboard drones, while "All Fall Down" gets a commanding run-through, its unsettling synth lines and pulsing crunch making it the equal of other early-'80s nuclear paranoia classics as the Sound's "Missiles" and the Chameleons' "Up the Down Escalator." The Skinner cuts include a beautiful version of the band's signature cut "Nowhere Girl," its memorable keyboard hook even more prominent. The first four tracks come from the Peel session, and they're all winners, neatly showcasing the band's nervy edge of post-punk drive a la the Comsat Angels, balancing a cool synth sheen against understated rock power.
