Eyeless in Gaza - Kodak Ghosts Run Amok

Eyeless in Gaza were never an easy band to listen to, even for someone like me who pretty much loved everything on Cherry Red in the early '80s. I think the make-or-break factor was Martyn Bates's vocals, often described as "distinctive"; at his best they're stunningly expressive but at worst they're close to unbearable. And there's a fair amount of "worst" in EiG's repertoire, if you know what I mean.

I like a lot of their stuff anyway. And come on, isn't this the best song title ever?
