The Fall Discography Map - Every Album in Order

My Fall discography map is a music wall art print showing every studio album in order, designed as a gift for fans tracing one of the most prolific and stylistically uncompromising recording careers in British post-punk.

"Brilliant series.." Simon Rogers, Musician & Producer - The Fall

From Live at the Witch Trials in 1979 through to New Facts Emerge in 2017, each album sits on the map as a station, and every musician who played on a record runs as a tube line connecting the albums they appear on.

When I'm researching a Fall discography map this detailed, I work from album liner notes, verified session credit data and decades of music archives. The Fall is one of the most challenging subjects for this format because of Mark E. Smith's famously high rate of band member turnover.

Across 32 studio albums between 1979 and 2017, the band employed roughly 66 different musicians, with Mark E. Smith as the only constant running line through every record until his death in 2018, with his line terminating in the map at New Facts Emerge. Branch and supporting lines mark the longer-serving collaborators: Marc Riley, Craig Scanlon and Steve Hanley across the classic era, Brix Smith across two distinct periods, Karl Burns through multiple line-up changes, Dave Bush on the early 1990s electronic records, Julia Nagle, Tom Murphy, the late-period line-up around Elena Poulou, Pete Greenway and Dave Spurr, and the dozens of musicians who passed through the band across forty years.

A Music Wall Art Print Gift for The Fall Fans

This is the kind of art print that rewards a close look. Fans tracing the band's arc from Live at the Witch Trials through the classic-era peaks of Hex Enduction Hour, The Wonderful and Frightening World of..., This Nation's Saving Grace and Bend Sinister, the late-80s and 1990s records, the electronic experiments, the long late period including The Real New Fall LP, Fall Heads Roll, Reformation Post TLC, Imperial Wax Solvent, Your Future Our Clutter and Re-Mit, and the final New Facts Emerge, will see exactly which musicians shaped each record. It hangs as a music map on a feature wall, in a lounge, a studio, or a hallway, and serves as a milestone gift for any long-term Fall fan.

I print every map on archival paper using a Giclée process, in A1 and A2 landscape formats, framed or unframed. You can browse the full Manchester Bands Art Prints Music Maps collection for related artists from the same scene.
