Reccomend me some Virgin Prunes

I only know 'Heresie', and it's an excellent record. Can you tell me if they have others in the same vein as this one?
ps: recommend

Many years ago I had a girlfriend who was a massive Virgin Prunes fan, and her disc of choice was always ...If I Die, I Die

I find solo Gavin Friday more interesting.

Go for ...If I Die I Die (it's produced by Wire's Colin Newman) as yr next one, it has their most famous songs and it's very diverse post-punk. After that, I'd probably go with The Moon Looked Down And Laughed, simply for the stunning track 'I Am God'.

I sold all of my Virgin Prunes records a long time ago, which I now bitterly regret. However, I still have their video, Sons Find Devils - A live retrospective 1981-1983 which is quite remarkable.
I'm sure it must be on Youtube somewhere.

There you go...

It's not from Sons Find Devils but it will give you an idea of their live performance antics.

I think A New Form of Beauty is stunning--very moving in places and ahead of its time. They get dodgy later on when the sound becomes very dated. Gavin is a gentleman.

Thanks everyone!

Heresie is very good indeed (probably better than If I Die I Die).
