  1000 Mexicans - Dance Like Ammunition [ FIRE LP1 UK 1985 24-Bit FLAC] A label with an impressive early repertoire were Fire Records who were originally responsible for many indie/alternative acts in the mid-eighties. Whilst 1000 Mexicans never achieved the acclaim of Pulp, Spacemen 3 and The Blue Aeroplanes, they were one of the first to sign with the label and I believe they deserved recognition. Dance Like Ammunition marks a change in direction from their pounding The Last Pop Song single, much less anger and more creative, more like art-rock than driving indie-rock - more Wire than Sisters Of Mercy. Diving For Pearls was a single but failed to make any dent in the indie charts, it is catchy and if you have read my earliest scribes, anything alternative with a trumpet goes down well with me. Enjoy! A1  Something For Nothing A2  Teaching Fish To Swim A3  Amnesia A4  Simple Game A5  Dead Language B1  Diving For Pearls B2  I Hear You Whistle ...

1000 Mexicans - The Last Pop Song [12 ABS 021 UK 1984 24-Bit FLAC] We've had 1000 Violins and 1000 Ohms, we had best have some 1000 Mexicans as well then. This is my original ESWA blog rip from July 2016, just for the hell of it. A great single from one of the most innovative pre-C86 indie bands which deserves to be in everybody's collection.
