A super unique compilation that has a great version of Death Valley, a great Swans song, and several other interesting songs from New York and European bands in that same scene. I don’t wanna call it No Wave because I’m pretty certain that was over by ‘85, but it’s a lot like that.
I’ve been super into this album lately. They have one live album from this era on Bandcamp, but beyond that does anyone know of any other live stuff or maybe demos or something?
I saw a lot of people here recently calling it a top album by the boys. I’ve only listened once, but I didn’t find any of it all that special. Planning to relisten tomorrow, but I’m curious why some people seem to regard it so highly.
My immediate answer would be Heroes and Villains, but I’m not as familiar with the deep cuts as some people here probably are.
1: Andre Sider Af Sonic Youth
2: Anagrama
3: Thème D’Alice
4: Agnes B Musique
5: Le Anges Au Piano
It's probably the most important live album of theirs that I've yet to listen to, but I've just heard such mixed opinions on it. Some people seem to swear by it, some people seem to hate it. I'm mostly just intimidated by it seemingly being only one song.
Been lurking here for a while, but it's my first time posting. I'll start:
Kim: Intro/Brave Men Run (live at Smart Bar 1985)
Thurston: No Queen Blues
Lee: NYC Ghosts and Flowers
