Long-awaited reissue on CD of the Stockholm Monsters only official album, released on Factory (Fact 80) in summer 1984 which was produced by Peter Hook of New Order. The album has been digitally remastered from the original album session tapes. Full sleevenotes, and the original Trevor Johnson artwork has been faithfully reproduced. A band at ease with their abilities to make a telling - and unashamed - pop album... It's steeped in presence, with tracks like "Terror" (bright and breezy, despite the title), "Where I Belong" and "Winter" (check out that growling bassline!) exercises in clear-headed accessibility. A powerful record, Alma Mater Plus is atmospheric, bass-heavy and geared to the group's highly melodic and dark poetic wanderings. It's a long way from Sweden, but once their horns are in riotous rein and the grinding guitars reach overdrive, the Stockholm Monsters will support the healthy fears of the Factory faithful.
