Kraftwerkかと耳を疑うがそれもまた良し。後に都会へと行き、別人となってしまった息子を思う母親の心境である。此れを含むFast Productからリリースの2枚のシングルはもっと評価されるべき。タイトルの「労働の尊厳」とは意味不明だが、ジャケットのまま赤とグレーの音楽。

A: Adult/ery

B: Horrorshow

Fast Productからは「Gang Of Four」「The Human League」が有名だが、オレにはこの彼ら唯一のシングルがベスト。以前「Lemon Jelly」が "Horrorshow" をサンプリングした時は感動した。彼らはそのアルバム " '64-'95 "で William Shatner のナレーションもサンプリングした。

愛すべきFast Productリリースの彼ら2枚目のシングルは、Punk初期にあったシンプルなダイナミズムが素晴らしい。ザ・ミーコンズは1977年に結成後、現在も活動中。
