Betaboy Had No Separation on a tape I recorded from radio back in the 80's and that's the main reason I got this re-issue. Not much else I like on this album. A lot of lo-fi noise and crap going on standing miles apart from my Favorite track: No Separation.

veganbigmac Owned this on vinyl when it first came out way back when. Very pleasantly surprised to see it on here for download. Way ahead of it's time sounds - raw and edgy with dirty, menacing baselines - right up my street... Favorite track: Body Count.

Ben R Brown Love the whole album but digital seems to just be a rip from the vinyl:( Wanted a nice clean recording.

about

Originally released on Illuminated Records in 1983, "Viral Shedding" is surely one of the most important references for the industrial/funk dance music.

Between pure noise and electronic beats, 'Viral Shedding' is creating a twisted and percussive rhythmic urge, a funky disco sound permeated by digital industrial beats. Nigel Ayers and Caroline K take their inaccessible best and thrown it into the melting pot with a set of pumping rhythms. The result is the frustrated son of mutant disco, swimming in the same waters of Cabaret Voltaire, 23 Skidoo, Tackhead, Meat Beat Manifesto and Hula.

As Nigel Ayers recalls, "Popular music picked up on what we were doing 1983-1984, which helps explain why records such as -Viral Shedding- sound clubbier today than they did at the time, but the technology of music making locked in a seat of aesthetics in those days that shaped pop as a whole more than industrial music itself did. Whether by synthesizer manufacturers' musical design or through engineering limitations, the more automated a band allowed their music to become, the dancer it was likely to be."

Features the classics 'Suffering Stinks', 'Going Under' and 'No Separation'.
