Clinic are one of those bands that seem to exist outside of music. As a band they keep releasing records. People must buy them. They do live shows. But they're one of those bands that seem to get ignored. Maybe their is a secret underground Clinic appreciation society that I have no knowledge of. I first stumbled upon the band in the late 1990s and their release 'Voot'. I have since been a fan of the band without ever managing to see them live. I don't even have all their LPs. But whenever I hear something by Clinic, it's instantly recognisable as them. Much like The Fall always manage to sound like The Fall whilst changing and evolving.I was slow on the the uptake with 'Funf'. Which came out back in the summer. It's a compilation of 'B' sides spanning 10 years of releases. And after listening to the LP it makes me wonder why I wasn't more of Clinic completest. These 12 songs would grace many peoples main releases, let alone, be considered 'B' side material. If you haven't heard Clinic before they have a sound that encompasses dirty grinding guitars, whirling organs and their songs are often a war of attritional noises. It's a rather grand racket. One day I will get to see them live.
