Complete your Test Dept. I'm surprised this album and many other titles from their early years don't have a proper remaster and reissues on audiophile 180gr. From 1981 early tracks to 1987's Terra Firma ( the title track sucks big time but the rest is damn good) they were among the big names of one of the best genres of the 80s.

Listening to Beating the Retreat, it's little wonder that it was Test Dept. s own Angus Farquhar who was instrumental in resurrecting the festival in 1988. The album carries with it a sense of something primal and totemic, yet inherently violent and degraded, at once mechanical and organic, as if it were the musical conclusion to the rise and fall of man, the sound of tribesmen hammering out war rituals in the ruins of Tralfagar Square or Trump Plaza.
