UNREST "Food & Drink Synthesizer...Plastic Film" (TeenBeat 126)

Simon Lebon of Duran Duran is credited with the production of Unrest's Perfect Teeth (TB 119), simply because he was in the same studio recording, The Wedding Album, and happened to give his opinion on a few songs.

Unrest began in 1985, and their songs evolved from improv instrumental music to postmodern pop-songwriting that would culminate artistically in Perfect Teeth, their first album for the 4AD label.

Exhuming the Factory Records foundation, that Mark Robinson's own TeenBeat label borrows so heavily from, the album is laden with references to Cath Carroll in the artwork (her photo is used on the cover and her tattoo is used within) and in the lyrics ("Angel I'll Walk You Home" contains lyrics to Carroll's "Moves Like You"— the song "Cath Carroll" speaks for itself).

"Food & Drink Synthesizer" appears in this form on the CD and album release, while "Plastic Film" exists only on the 7" version. Though these songs appear have no direct reference to Cath Carroll or the Factory label, only the band truly knows.

The introduction is from a Speak and Spell.

The best summation of Unrest is to borrow their own motto: "Take No Prisoners." You are simply defenseless against the aural assault from these three maestros, pop impresarios one and all. Love them, as they love you. -- Erin Smith, 1993
