The Comedy of Errors: Pitchshifter - Deconstruction (8 May 1992)

Buy this on Discogs

Whenever people talk about the size of John Peel’s record collection, I wonder how many of the circa 50,000 records include duplicate copies?  Does the P section, represented here by the first 100 titles in that part of his collection, include the two copies he had of Pitchshifter’s mini album, Submit?
On this evening’s programme, Peel thanked Pitchshifter for sending him a vinyl copy of the album because they suspected that their record label, Earache, would have sent it to him on CD.  However, whether through his own volition or Earache already being aware of his preferred method of listening to music, Peel already had a vinyl copy of the record, but was delighted to receive a second copy.

Deconstruction, the track Peel played, was very well titled with drum patterns that sound like wrecking balls rhythmically pounding into the ground and guitar riffs that sound like falling masonry.  In typical extreme metal style, the lyrics are sad and hurt in comparison to the violence of the music.  Ultimately comes across as a more raddled and grizzled Circus Lupus.
