-'''Danger Came Smiling''' was the final [[Gramophone record|LP]] released by [[Manchester]] [[post-punk]] group [[Ludus]].  It was first issued by [[New Hormones]] in September 1982.

-The album stands apart in the band's discography, being a lot more experimental, improvisational and intentionally less accessible than their other work. It consists of eighteen mostly short tracks. Instead of conventional lyrics, singer [[Linder Sterling]] provides a selection of cries, yells, laughter and spoken interludes (including diary records of [[Reichian therapy]]), and one very short track sung a capella.  The music seems to be deliberately kicking against the slick pop that dominated charts at the time. The LP has been described by guitarist Ian Devine as a therapeutic exercise, and by Linder as a "personal exorcism".
