Reviews"The early ’80s pioneered a stripped-down post-punk sound that was raw, minimalist, brainy, and danceable.", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Spare but fun, disorientating but inviting, their sound was in step with the stentorian dance-punk of U.K. bands like Gang of Four or the Au Pairs, but it was much more wide-open, driven by possibility rather than angst -- the sound of slackers dreaming, not punks ranting.", "The band took off in the late ’70s and early ’80s, calling it quits in 1983 after just two albums, but left a huge mark on post-punk, new wave and alternative rock at large.", "All of it sounds spectacular, with the punch and jerk of the studio work storming from the grooves of these new pressings, and even the few live tracks sounding immediate and feral."
Additional InformationOutstanding anthology that documents the original run of one of the best and most influential bands on the Athens, Georgia scene.
