"10 Days In An Elevator" (1986) LP by a Sheffield (UK) lesser known band Chakk. Brilliant album!
Info:
A mid-'80s avant-funk band with some industrial nuances, Sheffield, England's Chakk was too late in the game to be considered alongside the pioneering post-punk likes of 23 Skidoo and A Certain Ratio, groups that Chakk resembled and took influence from. The group's lone full-length, "10 Days In An Elevator", was released by MCA in 1986. Tipped for great heights, the record failed to live up to expectations and the group split. Mark Brydon, who built a studio with the money his group received from their label deal, went into production (including Krush's 1987's UK#3 "House Arrest" hit single) and achieved a fair amount of success post-Chakk as one half of the electronic duo Moloko. Dee Boyle joined Longpigs, and Slim Lister and Jake Harries became part of Heights Of Abraham.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to think of some more songs. It's ironic because I heard that song Pulling Mussels only like 2 or 3 times when I was a little kid, but I always rememberd it over the years! And every time I happend to mention it to anybody they didn't know who sang it either? ::) Thanks again
