Public Image: “The Flowers Of Romance”
Pitchfork tells us: ‘The saga that led up to the recording of Public Image Ltd’s third studio album, 1981’s The Flowers of Romance, was as lurid as a telenovela. It was hailed as a defiant tour de force, a pivotal forerunner of techno and industrial music, one that set the bar for post-punk, and all of “uneasy listening†to come. Making the record was an exercise in alienation, more painful than getting and removing the same tattoo in one afternoon.
