Hard to argue with this list 40 years later. NME writers on the ball in 1982 with films that would only gain widespread acclaim years later like The Thing and Cutter's Way. Smart writing too. Makes me want to watch/rewatch all of these, even E.T.
NME writers’ best films of 1982. New Musical Express, 8 January 1983. @bibakopf
NME writers spending a lot of time at the Scala. Jerzy Skolimowski's excellent Moonlighting just in there at joint 15th... 1982 a good year.
NME writers’ best films of 1982. New Musical Express, 8 January 1983. @bibakopf
#5albums90s1 #albumoftheday @underworldlive Underworld - Beaucoup Fish (1999) At a hefty 74 mins long this takes some commitment but there are many highlights along the way. It works best when the hypnotic Techno beat is melded with sweeping strings. Best track - Cups #NowPlaying
@nme1980s @humanleagueHQ Still love them and all that, but that line about the Human League being on the slide is truer than anyone could have realised at the time. All those prolonged delays, I wonder how they feel about the period now?
