Virgin Prunes - ... If I Die, I Die (1982)


Classic debut album from short-lived Irish post-punk greats Virgin Prunes. Side A is all atmospheric slow-burners; Side B kicks off the graveyard dance party. Whatever edition this is throws a bonus track ("Pagan Love Song") right in the middle of the album, then tacks on a couple more at the end.

Track listing:
1. Ulakanakulot
2. Decline and Fall
3. Sweethome Under White Clouds
4. Bau-Dachöng
5. Pagan Lovesong
6. Baby Turns Blue
7. Ballad of the Man
8. Walls of Jericho
9. Caucasian Walk
10. Theme for Thought
11. Chance of a Lifetime
12. Yeo

The promised land of milk and honey
And I see it now
The pain it lasts and all is wasted
