And "He's Got" is almost a dead ringer for A Certain Ratio on their first two albums:

Even the cover art has an enigmatic and vaguely menacing aura to match the music:

I wish they had continued in that musical vein, but their post-Selection metamorphosis undoubtedly grew their audience (and income).
