From the Cradle to the Grave

With their eclectic influences andscintillating musicianship, Subhumanswere never going to be content to trot outanarcho punk by numbers, but no-one wasreally prepared for the progressivebrilliance of their sophomore album, FromThe Cradle To The Grave. Whilst the A-sidecontains nine short sharp bursts ofenergised punk, gleefully embracing allpoints of the spikey spectrum, from thebreakneck thrash of Reality Is Waiting ForA Bus to the ominous dirge of Wake UpScreaming, it is the ambitious title trackthat really captures the imagination, itssprawling sixteen-plus-minute runningtime telling the sorry tale of the human lifecycle across a myriad of dynamic acts. Ifanyone was still in any doubt, it was theband defiantly setting out their stall as acreative entity that existed outside thestifling constraints of perceived musicalsub-genres. Committed to tape by thevisionary John Loder at Southern Studiosat the tail end of 1983, it was released inApril 1984 to widespread acclaim - andonly kept from the No. 1 spot in theIndependent Charts by New Order!
