ACR's second LP arrived in 1981 with a cover designed by the late Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson, an aura of gloom and static and fog courtesy of Martin Hannett, haunted,cobwebbed funk numbers and a long eerie-ambient-noise-festooned Latin-tinged percussion track ending the darkest of dance parties.
Folks seem to prefer their glossier third record (Sextet released in '82), but I am still quite taken by To Each. There is a foggy, lonesome atmosphere amidst the funk on the record that has never been matched by anyone since.
