After hearing "I can hear you laughing" , my six year old son started singing "I hate you dolphin, I hate you dolphin" :D (we live in a non-english speaking country, so that's just what he heard).
Fucking great music! I am an old fart now because I can remember the week this vinyl came out. Punk like punk should be, unadjusted, honest and free. The Mob had given me what I needed during that time.
i was 16 when this came out i am 53 now ,it sounds better now then it did when i was just a young lad ,i remember my parents telling me when i get older i will not like the music i love when i was 16 ,fucking idiots ,i love even more compared to the fucking utter shite that is available now
I remember being at some demo in London '82 with all us people from the Centro Iberico etc and the word was out that The Mob were gonna be playing outside on the South Bank so we all hoofed it over there. It was a lovely sunny day but as soon as we all got there The Mob started playing this song and it instantly got all cloudy and started pissing down with rain and became sooo depressing. This song will always remind me of that day 😉
The sky is empty and it's turning different shades of colour, It never did before and we never asked for war. My mind is empty and my body different shapes of torture, It never was before and we never asked for war. No-one is moving and no doves fly here, No-one is thinking and no doves fly here, No-one remembers beyond all this fear, No doves fly here The buildings are empty and the countryside is wasteland, It never was before and we never asked for war. The playgrounds are empty and the children limbless corpses, They never were before and they never asked for war. No-one is moving and no doves fly here, No-one is thinking and no doves fly here, No-one remembers beyond all this fear. No doves fly here

the Mob & Zounds were always my fave's This still sounds amazing after all these years i still have everything they did on vinyl = Only way to own / Hear them
Penny Rimbaud is listed as a producer on this. Was reading that he apparently added his own synth bits to No Doves Fly Here that the band originally didn't agree with but they eventually accepted it. I think it's used to great effect, so it's good it was kept.
This is mostly the Mob but also kind of a Penny Rimbaud collaboration with them as Penny added some things to it after Mob recorded it, much to their surprise. It worked. Amazing record.
Only ONE of 2 Tattoos on my Body, Fucking this and "Let the tribe increase" used to get me upset with the World, and Conflict brought out the Violence in me and remember Smashing the Biology Lab to pieces at Leeds University which led to Riots, But Still listen to this the old stuff by them ❤️
Crass were fucking amazing live. The best time I ever saw 'em was at the 100 Club, London 1980 or 81. Poison Girls and Flux of Pink Indians supporting. I saw The Mob a few times and remember the guitarist having to re-tune the bassists guitar for him between songs. Awh! I dunno if I ever saw Rudimentary Peni (probably) but I had a mate who was mates with the vocalist who I seem to remember died of testicular cancer around that time. (btw my personal live faves of that time were Crass, Poison Girls, Rubella Ballet and Dirt.)
@@hopebgood I saw dirt a couple of Times an old mate did a European tour with them with the band hellkrusher I was ment to go with them as a roady but I got abit fucked up on shit so my brother went instead.still regret that alot . I think conflict where probably the best punk band I've seen live
I was pretty good mates with Colin, Big John and particularly Paco from Conflict. Mainly cos we all lived near each other in SE London and I stood at the front of the stage at one of their first gigs at The Red Lion in Gravesend about 1981 and sang along with Colin while a crowd of skinheads threatened ...trouble! Pete from Crass was there too and being a twatty 16 year old I gave him a copy of the fanzine I did at the time which just happened to have an interview I'd done with him a few months before. Nowadays I look back at that and just fucking cringe!
@@hopebgood probably done alot of cringey things when young I know I did but it was a great time really gigs every couple of weeks . I was a drummer in a band I did 1 gig supposed to be supporting disorder but thay never turned up so supported uproar instead then I got kicked out for being shit. just discovered an American punk band called conflict that brought out an album in 83.
I forgot how great this song is.I remember when I first heard this there were parts that reminded me of the mellower parts from The Jams 'Butterfly Collector.It's also very similar in tone and pace to Bauhaus 'Hollow Hills'.
anyone out there who saw The Mob at the Centro Iberico in 1984, Flux were supposed to play but didn't show, my band Product of Reason played...I am just looking for anyone who was there can confirm it was The Mob? For some reason I have it in my head that Here and Now played that bill too but it was a long, long time ago.
I was a regular at the Centro. I loved Here & Now back then but don't remember ever seeing them at the Centro. But like you say mate.....a long time ago now ;) Be happy.
@@richardrandomk I think I'd stopped going to the Centro by '84 though now I think about it Richard mate. '82 was my sort of Centro Iberico era. I got fucked off with the "I'm more of an anarchist than you" attitude of a lot of people.
@@hopebgood Haha, that probably happened in lots of ways, all over the country, right? So, interestingly I now know it was '83 and the reason I know is because your reply spurred me on to go looking for other gigs we played that week we were in London. I searched for Meanwhile Gardens concerts 80's as I know we played there too. Lo and behold I found this link in which the poster mentions Protag looking after the PA for that day. Protag was Martin Neish who was in the Instant Automatons and one of my mentors, alnog with his bamnd mate Mark Automaton who I am makling an album with now! Nice resolution, eh? Thanks for your part in this matey! ruclips.net/video/B6uXuTj0G1Y/видео.html
@@richardrandomk Now this might get even weirder! A few days ago I was talking to someone about seeing Here & Now at the Meanwhile Gardens in late summer of 83. I think it must have been this gig. ruclips.net/video/NZVmUWRQIJA/видео.html but cos it was so long ago (and I've only just searched that vid link and not fully watched it yet) I don't actually remember any other bands that day. BUT....maybe I saw you play that day!

have you read ''the last hippy'' by Crass?you would understand that their point of view was far from peace and love,it was more like:they're deaf to love then let's use evrything we can to make sure they get our point.I think you forget what activist really mean...and it led to conflict and more aggressive bands.To destroy the system you don't have to be pacifist but there's no point in blindly destroying other people.
@@hopebgood most of the leb I've had was a yellow sandy colour it was normally wrapped in a red plastic when it came over . I can't ever remember seeing red leb maybe someone might know different
@@davidmc3262 Funny I'm reading the comments on my own song (as you do) and have some info on this question :-)... Red leb was very rare but i had some once. It was soft like black hash and very strong - but dark red in colour. Everything else i ever saw referred to as red leb, was a sandy light yellowy green in colour and wrapped in white cloth. I actually got a chance to try some Leb again about 10 years ago whilst in Egypt... I dont know why you never see it in England anymore.
Unfinished joke: Something like, "The opposite of 'the bom.'" It's actually a pretty good EP. But damn, the Mob from NY were a whole lot more hardcore.
while i cant help liking this one of my favourite bands i could never buy into the hippy bullshit that surrounded most of the anarcho bands punk was not about peace loving more about glamorous fun genx clash chelsea models boys etc were better

In the world we live in currently, these lyrics are still as appropriate sadly.

This EP always make me cry.
same
gosh, how I love this kind of basslines from late 1970's
i love crass bands
Chilling how well this song resonates with the current global situation..

Weren't we a optimistic bunch in the early 80's..?
And 90% of anarcho punk lyrics were prophecy,
weren't we tho' and acid house gave us more but look at us fucked up now. Everything gets commercialised, even hope.
Mate, that cuts to the bone it's so true.
