Various
New York Noise

A Norman Records recommendation (30th December 2006)

This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.

New York is a humongous city constantly full of rising talent ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous so it comes as no surprise that those cool retro dudes Soul Jazz Records feel the need to remind us where it all began (in the post-punk era anyway!) We have here a mighty fine CD & limited double vinyl entitled 'Noise' which encapsulates the sheer range of inspired ideas, jerky sounds & liquid grooves of the underground new wave set from '78 to '82. The amount of influence some of these forgotten gems have had on todays 'fashionable' set can not be underestimated, so if you dig music from electro to trashy, discordant guitar femmes such as Erase Errata then this is your first testament. Includes the likes of Liquid Liquid, ESG, Glen Branca & loads of other long forgotten obscurities that really need some ears! Smashing.
