The amount of Fall releases (and band members) was prolific to say the least. The foundation of their unique sound is a near-cacophonous, amelodic jagged jumble of guitars, sing-speak vocals and keyboards which has had an enormous influence on the indie\/alternative scene.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Encore Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47233407746302,"sku":null,"price":36.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1546\/6351\/files\/The-Fall-Seminal-Live-front-1x1-1.jpg?v=1756438796","url":"https:\/\/encorerecords.ca\/products\/lp-the-fall-seminal-live","provider":"Encore Records Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
