Strive to Survive Causing Least Suffering Possible is the debut album by the anarchist punk band Flux of Pink Indians, first released in 1982 through their Spiderleg label. The album was issued on compact disc through One Little Indian in 1989. It contained all the tracks from the Neu Smell EP as a bonus, though in a different order than the one in which they appear on the EP and mislabelled. The album was repressed on vinyl through Let Them Eat Vinyl in 2008, and a deluxe two-disc LP and three-disc CD editions were issued in 2013 through One Little Indian, containing demos and live recordings.[1]
Reception
The 1992 book The Guinness Who's Who of Indie and New Wave Music commented of the album, "Alongside standard thrash numbers were highly perceptive attacks on consumer society. The anti-religious 'Is Anybody There' [sic] was a particularly effective example, using simple but jarring lyrics to emphasize its point."[2]
