Hey! Never believe what you read on the internet! Bop Art is a fantastic 
LP - 
 Control Of Embassies, Gunning The Works and Built In A Day are some of 
the 
BAs finest works and for a long time were the mainstay of their live set - 
in 
the days when there were 10 or 11 bodies crammed onto a tiny stage 
annoying 
Henry the PA guy by randomly wandering on and offstage swapping 
instruments (and 
playing rather randomly too!) That polythene slashing Beefheart meets The 
Fall 
organized chaos was augmented by Bristol's first hiphop DJ dropping 
samples 
into the gaps between "songs" so there was literally never a dull moment 
and 
you never knew what was coming next!

I always preferred that LP over "Tolerance", imo it was only surpassed 
when 
they became a "proper" rock band for "Swagger" a few years later! (Not 
that 
Tolerance is a poor LP by any standards! ...he added quickly)

Cheers!

Rocker

PS Don't get me started on the "Bagpipe Music" LP - now there's a hidden 
classic waiting to be rediscovered!
