Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars 18 Years On..........2000-11-08

While not an essential purchase in the Crispy Ambulance catalogue (and thus the completely accurate title of the CD), AATF is a fun document of the 1999 reunion. The band sounds tight and Alan Hempsall's voice is as good as it ever was. However, the letdown of sorts is that after one hears the apocalyptic live blowout of FIN (recorded in 1981-82), AAFT is a bit of a limp letdown. Compared to some of the other reunion discs from bands of the same period (Bauhaus' GOTHAM, Wire's IT'S ALL IN THE BROCHURE), perhaps Crispy Ambulance weren't as good at re-generating same said energy 18 years onwards as some of their contemporaries were. Alan in particular sounds a lot calmer and happier than he did on FIN, and a good comparison to this is the track "Chroal": while the version on FIN sounds like he's frothing at the mouth and ready to jump off the stage in a frenzy, he practically croons the song on AATF, almost as if he's doing a punker Tony Bennett.

All in all the sound is crystal clear and the performances are superb, but for a first time sampling of what made Crispy Ambulance so great and a full view of just how powerful the band were live, check out FIN.
