Plus the last track sounds like after a nuclear explosion, just an eerie drone with buzzes that sound like flies and other occasional screeches.
that record is damn near incredible, and I hate most post punk.

When the Wind Blows. The last 20 minutes or so is heart breaking.

Threads looked a bit more like a documentary of the future to me when I was a kid. Living near Glasgow, and so near Faslane where the nuclear subs were based, my parents said we'd probably die quite soon if the attack happened. Jesus fuck, that's seared into my mind along with QED, Threads, and then the Protect & Survive films that were shown at weekends on tv.
The UK in the 70's and early 80's was a mad place to grow up.
