Metal Boys is a retread of Metal Urbane with a Chanteuse. First recorded and generally ignored in 1980-81, these guys were hard to pigeonhole, hence to market. They sound a bit like Kraftwerk, but much darker with a more experimental approach, occasionaly sharp guitar and a girl singer (speaking at times). They can go multilingual on a song, but you never know what's next. Techno predecssors and a link from Kwerk to new wave, in some ways. Ahead of their time. 1) Frantic buzzy - stabbing guitar annnd synth *2) Beat box, no hands to scratch my tits, spoken dystopia - FCC *3) robotic and rockin - seesaw guitar - fucking airport abrupt end - FCC 4) chordal Xmas carol - slow and comfortable 5) straight electro twaddle - T.E.E. 6) rocker - new wavy, definitely 7) slow synth beatbox.. almost melodic vocals , short and simple *8) Cab Calloway, dark swinger, insinuatingly spoken in French 9) light dancy froth 10) Devo we may be, yah yah yah, funny fade *11) Scary war story, daark&death all around, yikes! 2 vox 2 langs 12) I don't care... guitarlike synths 13) Devoish too, pop, video friendly 14) Faster simplistiic off center, a little guitar *15) funny wee woop, buzz guitar, quick and biting instrumental 16) jews harp synth, rock'n roll 2 minutes incomplete (a demo?) 17) downbeat ambient w/ sweet vox - love, I guess, dub fadeout, false ending 18) robotic dystopia, menacing, intense - heartbeat - disco future chant 19)echoed tick percussion, distant speech about space Gary | ||
