D-Generation – Entropy In The UK EP. Cultural theorist and music writer Mark Fisher killed himself the other week after a long struggle with depression – he’s the bloke who wrote Capitalist Realism and Ghosts Of My Life, both of which I think have been mentioned here before. Sad news obviously, but one nugget that arose from the obits was his involvement in this mid-90s psych-dance EP, which I bought at the time, primarily because it was promoted (in retrospect) along hauntological lines, and includes various Moorcock references (and cleverly samples John Lydon’s famous “Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated”). Not amazing, but still interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIRE67S7Ydg
Shit! That's tragic. R.I.P Mark.
Loved the two books you mentioned, and am currently reading a Post Punk tome part edited by him and Gavin Butt.

Wasn't the title 'Entropy In The UK' nicked by Grant Morrison for an issue of The Invisibles anti hero metaphysical comic thingy?? or was it the other way around. Both came out in 1994-ish.

Pass, it's a great title though, riffing on the idea of Jerry Cornelius as Johnny Rotten...
