Not as catchy and intense as their first killer that will be posted later on. In the meantime you can check out Erik of Something I Learned Todays post of it: Ultimate Orgasm. Still this has its moments. While I Used To Know You is poppy and soft Quick To Compliment got some more distorted guitars. I like both of them and they got that special NCM sound: weird stuff that roles in and out here and there and the knack for hooky melodies.

Yeah, “Ultimate Orgasm” is one of those lost great gems of punk, still socially relevant today, if not more so in the age of ‘net porn. What a great song. And NCM are from my home state and town! (Dallas, also home of Bobby Soxx & Stickmen w/ Ray Guns, w/ whom I’m pretty sure NCM played at least a few times.)
Thanks for posting NCM
D’oh, and from I remember of the lyrics, “Ultimate Orgasm” is not even ultimately about what it leads you to think it is.
I looked for this record for years, after getting Ultimate Orgasm. Thank you for posting this. Not as good as the first, but definitely good.
Indeed good use of guitar feedback!
British post-punk outfits often toyed around with that. the most brilliant take must be Excercise one by Joy Division. At least that’s what i think.

correction: Exercise one
correction again: oh shit. i commented on the wrong post. it was meant for ‘ultimate orgasm’ by the same band. so all know that.
