Damon - great to hear you're a fellow Shriekback fan! "Tench" was their first album and for me -- along with the EPs you mentioned -- it defines the version of the band I enjoy most. Spent far too many hours trying to coax something vaguely like Dave Allen's bass sound out of my gear at the time...probably a lost cause given I had a cheapo Precision clone...and not that I had the imagination to match what he played, of course! (He and Mick Karn were top of my list of most-admired bassists around then.)
I sort of lost track of what Shriekback were doing after "Jam Science" but am now encouraged to revisit their later stuff. I hope you manage to track down a copy of Tench or can find somewhere to listen to it (do PM me if not).
Yes, not classic Sf material but it's still good to give the old sub-woofer a hammering now and again!
