A haunting introduction to "industrial" music. One of the greatest...period!

Classic album. Test Dept 'Statement' is featured in our film Industrial Soundtrack For The Urban Decay www.industrialsoundtrack.com .

I bought this in 1986, and have always loved it. Yesterday, I watched Walter Hill's The Driver, and discovered that TUFoF' Corridor of Cells borrows/samples Michael Small's opening credits theme. Has anyone noticed it?

LP cover unfolds to create a large (3 feet across, 4 feet from top to bottom) cross.
"Fuckhead" is still an amazing feat of sound to me... bagpipes and a strident protest rant over minimalistic loops and a butt-shaking hardcore beat (accented by what seems to be a cowbell getting the crap beat out of it). Almost makes you forget that this is supposed to be "industrial" music.
