CD reissue This Is / ReR 2006
"This Heat's sound was something like a confrontation of prog, free-jazz and contemporary electronic music (think early Stockhausen, not Kraftwerk). They often get lumped into the post-punk (or even just "punk") camp, for no better reason other than they started at the same time. (...) Deceit was the band's second and final album (not counting posthumous releases, including the excellent BBC session release Made Available). As odd as it sounds on the surface, it's actually the more immediately appealing of their two albums, at least partially because of a greater emphasis on drive and something like song structure (though the music here is quite a ways from typical "songs"). The vocals - mostly handled by [Charles] Hayward - were probably the weakest link for This Heat, though they don't really take away from the music so much as push it into yet a stranger realm."

"This Heat" is a great album though. If you like ambient mixed with rock? It was really unlike anything at that time. This one lacks the cohesion of the first LP.
it is really important to know, I love read similar things, I know that it is so important to many people around the world, excellent kind of music!
