The Fall, There's a Ghost in My House (12" EP)

There's a Ghost in My House includes a bit of everything that the Fall were making in 1988, without any effort at assembling a coherent EP.  The 12" includes catchy rock music, a simple dance track with drum machines and electronics, and some splattery incoherence that recalls the Fall's earlier years.  The EP dates from roughly the same time as The Frenz Experiment, and the aesthetic similarities are obvious.  The cover image is funny, but lacks the attention that even the band's more chaotic covers reflect.  The EP sounds professional, but the low-end in the bass is very light, especially given that it plays at 45 RPM.
