One of the finest tracks ever recorded, B-Movie's "Remembrance Day" remains a stunning example of post punk perfection. Instantly recognisable by that sharp synthesiser sound and backed up with the chopping guitars and the soaring vocals, this 1981 release deserved far more fame and recognition than it ever got. It was later reissued in an extended and remixed form which was not half as good, lacking as it did, the almost painful immediacy of the original. Other versions which turned up on albums and compilations later also lacked the spark of this original. B-Movie never did anything any better than this. It still finds time on my turntable even after 30 years. It is, when all is said and done, a quite amazing record.
Rating: 10/10
