Reviews"Andy Gill's spindly, sharp-edged guitar and Dave Allen's careening bass make 'At Home He's A Tourist' an infectious romp...", Ranked #7 in Spin's "50 Most Essential Punk Records" - "...These angualr and abrasive post-punkers from Leeds, England, used the scalpel of Marxist theory to slice through the mystifications of labor, love, and rock'n'roll...", 4.5 stars out of 5 - "They smashed punk into pieces by embracing funk, dub and disco, making music as radical as their politics.", 5 stars out of 5 - Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums" - "...This debut showed that both modernism and futurism in rock could be a brash, thrilling thing...", Ranked #15 in Mojo's "Top 50 Punk Albums" - "...Their deconstructed guitars and neo-Marxist textbook lyrics added a thrilling experimental funk dimension to the genre...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Fischerspooner have deftly combined nuanced, layered electronic soundscapes with urgent vocals in a way that doesn't sound manufactured or overly produced...", "Barked Funk Marches That Snap Your Dendrites to Attention...", "...strangely enduring....a band whose informed dogma transcended fashion statement and socialist chic..." - Rating: A+, "Punk-Funk Agitprop Begins Here."

Funky and punky all at once. Great old school music.
Have owned this on vinyl since it first came out. What an album, it inspired so many of todays musicians. Vinyl was getting a bit worn out so i updated with a cd. Saw them tour this album back in 2017. Even with some personnel line ups, it sounded as good as ever. If you love bass in your music, then this is the album for you. It inspired Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to play bass.

A classic Post Punk album that defines the genre.
GO4's first album. This could easily be confused as a greatest hits album as there are so many tracks that formed part of the GO4 set, right up until last year's tour of Europe and Asia. RIP Andy Gill

A seminal post-punk neo-Marxist album
Marred by fairly weedy lead vocals, this was originally released in 1979 and has become a classic first album for the Gang of Four. Distorted guitar, feedback, disjointed dual vocals, pounding bass lines and a solid drum performance distinguish the record from anything else recorded at that time. Gang of Four were championed by John Peel but the group clashed with the BBC, being banned from performing "At Home he's a Tourist" on Top of the Pops and having "I Love a Man in Uniform" blacklisted from play during the Falklands War. They influenced a variety of bands including Red Hot Chili Peppers and R.E.M. It's strikingly good music but really jars with your senses on first listen. Three bonus tracks have been tacked onto the original release, two of them from Gang of Four's next LP release "Solid Gold".
