Me too! Haha.

I'm glad the reviewer didn't use the word "dubstep." It induces vomiting.

Threads is fantastic. Scared the crap out of me as a kid. Still sends shivers down my spine now...

well....that was......harrowing. obviously the effects are dated now but it didn't really make it any less horrific tbh. it went further than I thought a bbc programme of that era would, and didn't pull any punches.

nice to see threads mentioned. i was pretty moved by that film long ago and actually made a record based on it back in 2006. It was called "A Nice Morning in Atomic Spring". cool to see it being referenced around the web once again.

Another review, 8/10: "This is a record that feels, at times, harsh, arid and almost confrontational."

Threads scared the crap out of me. When you see how whats left of us survives. Jeez I hope BoC dont think its gonna go that way!

Another super disturbing yet compelling doc from around that time is BBC QED's Guide to Nuclear Armageddon from 1982 (available on the box.bz) Pure facts and visual statistics of the outcome of a nuclear strike in London. Scary stuff. But the perfect accompaniment to Protect and Survive :) :!:

"...the sound of 'The Road' if it'd had a score to rival that of Drive"

Is this true? I'm still holding out for Monday

Taken from another generally positive review:

Primarily from people who know little about dubstep. :roll:

Good review though!

This website is a joke... right guys? Right? This can't be real.
Their music, often touched with modern classical beauty and gloopy, hypnotic depth, usually lives up to their hipster-geek reputation

Is Threads basically the UK version of the tv movie The Day After? (what happens after a nuclear war)
