One of only a a handful of albums from the eighties that I still listen to. A furious and layered album covering Aids ( hence the title) Britain being America's poodle, the Middle East, self loathing etc. all this in a musically complex and well paced/sequenced album ( remember those). I seem to remember seeing a promotional film of the album at the time of release but not seen it referenced since.
Very different to Soul Mining which has some very good high points (Giant and Joolz Holland piano solo) but is a bit twee and lacks consistency.
Later albums also have good moments but to my mind, none have the musical creativity of Infected.
