mattyg107 Glad to see Jim's oldest stuff is getting a nice digital/vinyl reissue and remastered too!! Great news as I used to bug him maybe ten years ago about the singles collection he said was being released. Let's just do remastered Hole, Nail and Thaw then the singles set? However long it's worth the wait. Don't forget Wiseblood too!! Favorite track: Gums Bleed.

hopeforhappinez Instead track 2> JQ Murder:
Carved in my brain and h.ear.t since 1984. Probably the pure and clever and post-punk anger in voice and lyrics got me carried away. Still utterly valid and true. A wish to have the whole album remastered is fullfilled. I' m happy. Not ever before in such glorious sound. De-mystifying proces indeed. Justice been done. Spread the word. And let's not get too nostalgic, today's Thirlwell is best. Favorite track: Instead...I Became Anenome.

thenewspaper Wish it had lyric insert, but otherwise best quality-- if you don't own any Foetus lps, this or DEAF will both radiate noise, pleasure, and energy into your home. You give a couple of bucks, and you get the most stylish noise-hose your house could ever afford. Favorite track: Dying With My Boots On.

"Ache is possessed by a bristling, maniacal intelligence which spews out a jostling, surreal collage of subverted musical and verbal cliches, wired word associations, epigrams and sheer invective with frantic urgency and gleeful black humor. Ache is one of the most violently compelling records I’ve heard in ages.” Mat Snow, NME 12.11.1982
