2nd studio album by Hunters & Collectors is recorded and co-produced by Conny Plank in Germany. With this, the septet continues its style with roots in post-punk and its original mix of funk rock and garage rock. The album wasn't exactly met by acclaim, and after this they pursued a style of more general appeal, which in my mind, wasn't the best direction, although they did meet broader success on a national scale.
