black screen. Then, fragmented guitar. Then, we transformed the rhythmic arts pistons, then, the problem of leisure: what to do for pleasure . Here is the story of a girl, the Queen of France, between sisters death, boredom and lesbian sex, he lost his head to modernity. This simple story in many ways, transformed into a chronicle of the pursuit of pleasure, of youth, in this nature that no longer exists or is no longer here. As if to say: fornication make you happy, no escape from society .
I say this: as my legs turned into slippers, my head went straight on the tracks built by exclamation point that Jon King because exclamation points are the ones that I I can speak or hear.
Naturalness is not here or at least not in the sudden shift of power, Kant would say. Perhaps in enlightened despotism, just maybe. Perhaps education. Or - to put it to Burke - repent and thank God for the nature that you can find in the next life, the heavenly one, because in this life, post-revolutionary, democratic or alleged, to say nothing of the free, there's not a natural.
short, 1979 or 1789 does not change anything : exclamation marks, the ones that you squeeze to live, the reactionaries have always been, why is obvious: the progress is still a form of selfishness. And all along. better the natural, zero superstructures, all straight and then BOOM.
It goes without saying that the music of Gang of Four - reactionary choice from above, but also for their ability, a group that goes beyond mere signifier Music - must be heard by isolating the that naturally refuses.
The Peel Sessions have always been a beautiful thing, a cross between the artificiality of a disk and edited the harshness of an alcoholic concert. And then there's no better way to listen to the bass drum and bass that stings sferracchia that, in its being round, beyond belief.
Peel Sessions '77 - '81, printed in 1990 , was recorded in three sessions, rebroadcast, on the disc, as a natural means in strict chronological order. The first two occurred in 1979, a disk not yet released, and pitted 8 / 13 of what will Entertainment! . The sound is alive and pulsating.
Opens "I Found That Essence Rare" and we found a close-knit group in the ears and sharp, that seems to walk with joy on a razor blade. "5:45" is something alienating, like Joy Division if they fuck with the beauty of surrender and let go to news and guitars, chittarre - Andy Gill was a person close to God - and then comes, there comes a point where King screams. Guerrilla War Struggle is a New Entertainment. Then, STOP. Then
"Natural's Not in It" - my favorite, a, of all, of my favorites - and then silence. "Not Great Men" is more or less, the point of departure and arrival of all new-new wave that prevailed until a few months ago and no one now seems to remember ; A Certain Ratio as of demonic . The rhythm section of "Ether" dance on what remains of the world destroyed by the proclamations of King and Jon is a beautiful dance, no doubt about it.
In 1981, Solid Gold out, back in the studios of John Peel to play "Paralysed" , with the bass that hole, straight straight, the walls of the house. The guitar is made even more dry and rough - Gill's personality as required - and is easy to perceive from where comes the chitarreggiare Albini ... Every Man for Himself is.
Percentages "History's Bunk" , where the guitars are synth, and "To Hell With Poverty" - gorgeous and thinking - Both, then, present the 1982 ep, Another Day / Another Dollar.
as if to say: a view of ease just before losing it completely.
