James Chance & Terminal City - The Fix Is In

James Siegfried, the white James Brown, represented at the best the spirit of NY no-wave: the desecration of the dead bodies of the traditional rock, jazz and funk music, reinventing their style and the use itself of their instruments. But to do this, it was necessary to have a full awareness of what preceded it . This album shows how behind the desire – and the necessity – to progress towards the new and the aunherad-of, there was in any case the love and the respect for a golden age, in turn an element of cultural renewal and social revolution. In particular, this album tracks pay homage to the old American movies soundtracks and to the whole decadent, but at the same time exciting and adventurous world, represented by them. James himself says: “the stuff I’m doing now is very influenced by Film Noir.
