I am a big fan, and just wondered if any other members were fans too?

Never really got into his original work, but I have plenty of his remixes. Which are always nothing if not entertaining.

One of my particular favourites was his slicing 'n' dicing of "Fight - Nailed To Gun", which features the most amusing one and a half minute intro passage including what sounds like a rusty pram being pushed around and a sample of what can only be described as Mr. Blobby

Hat-stand.

I used to be a big fan but I haven't heard any new stuff from him for quite a while now.

Last thing I bought would have been Steroid Maximus.

My favourite Foetus name would have to be Foetus Uber Alles.

Thought his first album and his Wiseblood stuff were particularly good.

Also remember liking Stumbo a lot but I cannot think what incarnation that was.

"Damp" is his latest offering available from the website www.foetus.org and features some of his best work in ages!

Stumbo was the 2'nd 12" from Wiseblood (Motorslug was the first).

Jim does a lot of remixing, and djing. He is also into his art and designs a lot of the CD covers himself. Hole and Nail are two of the best albums imo. Log onto the website and you can hear samples of some of his work. There are also tracks on his myspace page.

Back in the 80's we used to laugh at the silly names he made up. The music was worse than the titles, glad I never wasted my money on it.

'wash it off 'is my favorite song of all time.
The man has a great talent, the holy trinity of Hole, Nail and Thaw are my favorite of his, but hes getting back on form with tracks like hemo the cuckold from Damp fantastic.

Say what you mean and say it mean!!
