Julian Cope was a contemporary of Ian McCulloch/Bunnymen w/ his stab at dark psychedelia via The Teardrop Explodes, but it wasn't until he went solo and became a published expert on krautrock that his stuff got more interesting. i believe that there's a big reissue program about to get off the ground, but i found this copy of Peggy Suicide in the used bins for only four bucks and hopped on it fast.
