Originally released on Flicknife Records in 1985, Pneumatic Pneurosis compiles the complete 45rpm output of Darlington’s Clockwork punk/Oi! Mob. Like Ipswich contingent The Adicts, Major Accident couldn’t get enough of Stanley Kubrick’s vision of Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange, an influence writ large in their boots-‘n’-bowlers get ups and little bit of Ludwig Van on The Glorious 9th (what neo-classical metal would’ve sounded like if Yngwie Malmsteen had gone to borstal). For the old guard, Pneumatic Pneurosis is an enjoyable stomp down a litter-strewn Memory Lane. For the current crop of shaved heads, Major Accident are the blueprint for 21st-century street punks like Evil Conduct, the London Skinhead Crew and Lars Frederiksen’s Old Firm Casuals.
