Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - The Very Best Of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry (2000)
Cover pic.
One of England's more subtly original goth rock groups, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry were initially branded as worshipful Joy Division acolytes, but came up with enough distinct variations to break free of their main influence. Their foundation always remained icy, droning post-punk, replete with sludgy, murky guitars and mumbled Ian Curtis-style vocals. However, as the Lorries evolved, they gradually sprinkled in elements of industrial dance, early rave music, and spaghetti Western soundtracks, as well as liberal doses of inventive, acid-tinged guitar work.
Since the running order of this compilation is chronological, it shows that the band indeed made subtle developments with their sound and if justice existed, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry's catalog would be just as well known as Killing Joke's, not only recognized for having some wild guitar playing, but also for putting an often terrific, unique spin on doom and gloom that should all but separate them from the remainder of the goth rock sect.
