The Room - Things Have Learnt To Walk That Ought To Crawl

The Room's enduring obscurity is one of those great mysteries of my life. How are they not at least as well known as the Chameleons, the Teardrop Explodes, even the Pale Fountains? Their songs were so good and, for the most part, quite easily accessible (musically speaking) that I really can't understand why almost nobody, even in the indie world, seems to know who they were.

This is one of their finest moments, a 1982 single and their first for Red Flame. Trust me, there's more where this came from.
