I love the internet: I remember really liking the song "Round World" from a Method Actors EP in the 80s, when I was a college station DJ and hadn't heard it or thought about it in almost 40 years. Well here it is!

I saw them so many times at 688/Atlanta. Two guys, so much sound. David-drummer, and I became friends for a short time. So long ago.

"Do The Method" was my triumphant anthem when I lived in NYC in the 1980s. Fantastic band. Thanks for uploading. Reminds me a bit of the Gang of Four, Homosexuals, Desperate Bicycles, Swirlies, Souls She Said. Nice stuff for sure.

Thanks for posting this.
Excellent recording work. The production is much more immediate than the vinyl.
It sure stands the test of time.

@@mileswilson3026Sad to hear that. I met him in Athens, but got to know him better when I was stationed in the UK and he lived in London. We went to see X together. I met him through Davey/Dominique of Limbo District
