Released in February 1990, 'Extricate' was a big bold statement, co-opting some Madchester beats into The Fall's mix, with the band and Smith on excellent form. From the catchy indie of 'Hilary' and 'The Littlest Rebel', the oblique attack on past lovers in 'Sing! Harpy', and the touching rumination on death and new love, 'Bill Is Dead', 'Extricate' is one of the group's most coherent albums. Smith also worked with dance producers Coldcut updating the Lisa Stansfield sung track 'My Telephone' as 'Telephone Thing'.
