2003 remastered reissue of Felt's 1982 debut album in limited edition digi-pack. The album was a critical and indie chart success, and has been long sought after in its original format. This is the beginning of a major Felt re-issue campaign with all ten studio albums being released over the coming months, including the long deleted but much sought after Creation albums. "Crumbling The Antiseptic Beauty" was Felt's very first album and gives a clear indication of the style which saw them lead the independent charts throughout the 80's. On "Crumbling The Antiseptic Beauty" there is a stripped-down psychedelic feel to certain tracks, with drums pounding out a tribalistic, rolling beat beneath Deebank 's complex guitar runs and Hayward 's obtuse vocals. Later in their career Felt would finally curb all that minimalist atmosphere into three-minute pop gems while maintaining their skewed, unconventional palette.
