Much anticipated retrospective of seminal highly influential NYC art post punk band that is synonymous with the term “no wave”. Clanging discordant guitars, disjunct tribal beats, noisy minimal synth and desperate non-“vocals” create a form of anti-music so heavily embraced as of late that you’d think that we’ve entered a time warp (see new bands Ex-Models, Number, ). Though this band was the brainchild of Arto Lindsay I dare you to find anything these recordings have in common with his recent a-file fave. Not very prolific, this CD includes all their studio recording plus unreleased and live material. Totally abstract, whacked, an NYU art student’s wet dream. 1) simple quintessential DNA beat, synth, noise guit and “vocs” 2) slow abstract 3) classic track, slow swingy 4) almost thrashy 5) another classic w/ slow mid beat that picks up 6) more driving, almost song-like, melodic 7) from their record: weird near tribal messed’upness 8) more bizarreness from record 9) Blonde Redhead took their moniker from the title of this tribal ditty, Sonic Youth lifted its essence and invented indie rock, or at least changed it forever 10) abstract, halting, cool 11) bizarre tribalness 12) slow halting, powerful bass notes and drum bursts 13) mostly bass feedback and free-drums 14) looping bass line, almost drony 15) bass centered brief 16) slow bass solo, dark and brooding 17) rumbling driving bass w/ noise guit 18) turns almost melodic 19) bursts, w/ slow plod, noisey 20) disjunct start, turns pounding thrashy 21) almost melodic, rhythmic, w/ a melody 22) tribal, typical 23) crowd noise, weird synth, abstract guits, tribal 24) live abstract, free-no-wave, bordering on noise 25) plodding excellent trademark w/ vocs 26) tribal, spastic, great 27) FCC dark and weird, slow “get out of here, go fuck yourself” at about 30 seconds left 28,29) upbeat and scattered, thrashy 30) slow tribal sparse 31) dense, low fi noise onslaught 32) very sparse, abstract, sounds | ||
