''The Light User Syndrome'' is an album by The Fall, released in 1996 on Jet Records. It was the group's first album to feature keyboard player and guitarist Julia Nagle and the last to feature Brix Smith, while longtime guitarist Craig Scanlon quit the group in late 1995 during troubled recording sessions for "The Chiselers" single which preceded the album. A version of "The Chiselers" is included on the album as "Interlude/Chilinism". Brix Smith told Simon Ford that ''The Light User Syndrome'' was recorded very quickly, with Mark E. Smith absent for much of the recording, delivering nearly all his vocals on the final day.〔Ford, Simon (2003). ''Hip Priest: The Story Of Mark E Smith And The Fall''. London: Quartet Books. ISBN 0-7043-8167-2〕 Despite this, alternate versions of many of the album's tracks featured heavily across the series of compilation albums issued by the Receiver label in the late '90s. The album also features some vocals from producer Mike Bennett, as well as a rare lead vocal from drummer and guitarist Karl Burns on a cover version of Johnny Paycheck's "Stay Away (Ol' White Train)." The tour supporting the album was disastrous due to Smith's heavy drinking and misbehaviour, with Brix walking out of the group after the soundcheck at Motherwell Concert Hall (although she would return for one last gig at the Forum in London) and a gig in Worthing being declared by long-serving bassist Steve Hanley to be the worst Fall gig ever.〔(The Fall gigography | 1996 )〕 By the end of the year, they were playing without Brix, Nagle and Burns, although both Nagle and Burns would return during 1997 for follow-up album ''Levitate''.〔 ==Track listing== #"D.I.Y Meat" (Mark E.
