“Careering”, Public Image Ltd (PiL). Anthr RIP, Keith Levene

This way: Careering

Julian Keith Levene (18 July 1957 – 11 November 2022) was an English musician, who was a founding member of both The Clash and Public Image Ltd (PiL).

This is one of the all time great LPs, Near Perfect for sure.
Metal Box is the second studio album by Public Image Ltd, released by Virgin Records on 23 November 1979. The album takes its name from the round metal canister which contained the initial pressings of the record. It was later reissued in standard vinyl packaging as Second Edition in February 1980 by Virgin Records in the United Kingdom, and by Warner Bros. Records and Island Records in the United States. 

The album was a departure from PiL's 1978 debut First Issue, with the band moving into a more avant-garde sound characterised by John Lydon's cryptic lyrics, propulsive dub-inspired rhythms led by bassist Jah Wobble, and an abrasive, "metallic" guitar sound developed by guitarist Keith Levene.
