From I Am Kurious Oranj (1988). I Am Kurious Oranj is the eleventh studio album by the English post-punk band the Fall. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Standard Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for The Fall's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
