Chemicals Made From Dirt -- Ike (Hyped To Death) Wow! More unearthed late 70’s-early 80’s new wave/punk rock obscurites. Chemicals were from Long Island and throwdown 25 tracks of what’s called “artwave” which actually does combined oft-kilter tempos of new wave/post-punk with punk attitude & riffing. (((((1))))) Sharp, thuddin’ 70’s punk rawness filled with attitude! (((2))) Off-kilter, big bass, kinda like a sped up Television or the Jam ((((3)))) 70’s punk action with wailing guitars ‘ala Sex Pistols, NY Dolls, Johnny Thunders. (((4))) Weird, art-funk thing ‘ala Talking Heads ((((5)))) Killer guitar & bass work, lots of odd measures and silly vocals. (((6))) 3-note rollin’ number sounds like The Offs minus the horns. ((7)) Goofy, “shoo-bop” repeating over & over. ((((8)))) Fuckin’ KILLER riff with reverb-laden vox. (((9))) Mid-pace & slow swingin’ tempos and great vocals & chorus. (((10))) Zappa-like vocals, rolling new wave-ish 80’s futurist sound. (((11))) Hilarious lyrics! Totally 60’s beach pop mixed with 80’s power pop. (((12))) Mid-paced twisted, spastic punk/new wave mix. Devo meets the Weirdos? (((13))) Bass-y, strummy, bouncy rhymns & an ode to Elvis: Drug Years. ((((14)))) Minimal, goofy art punk not too far from early Wire. (((15))) Nerdy punk/new wave ‘ala B-People or early Talking Heads. (((16))) Bass-y, sorta catchy off kilter not really new wave/not really punk. (((17))) Great riff & bass lines, but a little too redundant. ((((18)))) Big ‘ol guitar sound but also has a touch of twang. Straddlin’ the art punk/new wave line(s). ((((19)))) Lo-fi sound but nice waves of synth, sax and sarcastic lyrics. ((((20)))) Roxy Music meets Bowie? Uppity & often groovy - ‘nuff said! (((21))) Steady bass, angular sort with weird vocal lines. ((22)) Dark yet silly - new wave/power pop - a little TOO silly, tho’! (((23))) Funky, goofy, super-silly new-wave nerdiness. (((24))) Crazy guitar parts & lyrics about one of NYC’s infamous porn palaces. ((((25)))) Early 80’s “rap/funk” merger, goofy lyrics from an LSD droppin’, rappin’ Count Dracula. Comedy option. ----Ragnar Of Ravensfjord |
