| picture disc lp version, finally in stock !!!
right. so... “new york noise”, “new york no wave”, the “downtown ‘81” soundtrack, etc... ad-infinitum; these all exist solely because this, the original “no wave” comp, has been buried deep within the vaults of island records (antilles’ parent-corp), delgations on its reissue ultimately falling on deaf ears, red-tape ending up at the bottom of a well since... well, pretty much since someone had the idea of reissuing it on cd in the early 90s. there was a slightly moreso-than-this gray-area “reissue” on the “japanese” “off-note” “label” a few years back (which you were more than welcome to buy from other music for $39.99) - which is all well and good but...
...enter some brilliant soul (someone in the u.s. judging by the markings on the disc itself), wise enough to ape a perfect late 90s gorbushka-lineage russian bootleg (right on down to the liners in cyrillic!), did so... which means that fans of the whole art-school dropout meets max’s kansas city/mudd club/danceteria/cbgb’s thing can now derive their cues and fashion-sense directly from the source, instead of having all of that critical information (easily lost-in-translation) filtered through the sensibilities of u.k. “hipster 101” outlets such as soul jazz, etc...
putting aside what has become of the “no wave” legacy in the intervening years since its 1978 “year zero”, this still sounds like a gang of angry hornets just waiting for you to open your mouth; the firebrand is as warm as it’s ever been... even if you’re stick of the legions of clones, i urge you to witness the beast first-hand... this edition is not long for this world (for obvious reasons) so... don’t hesitate... |
| | one of the brightest and most famous projects of the entire punk/new wave scene, no new york was released in 1978 on island's sub-label antilles and became a total cult in the indie scene.
featuring some of the most incredible rule breaking bands of the underground new york art and music scene, the project--strongly pursued by brian eno--is a genuine snapshot of the massively creative nyc scene, from which innumerable trends started and became part of the modern pop music as we know it
influential, powerful and ground breaking, this collection features gotham city no-wave giants like james chance (contortions), arto lindsay and ikue mori (dna), lydia lunch (teenage jesus) and sumner crane (mars).
if you missed the original it's time to get your hands on this reissue. |
