DNA / A TASTE OF DNA (SUPERIOR VIADUCT盤12")
ラウンジ・リザーズの名盤1stへの参加、そしてアンビシャス・ラヴァーズのメンバーとして知られるアート・リンゼイと、今もってアヴァン・フィールドで活躍するイクエ・モリなどが参加した、NYノー・ウェーブ金字塔「NO NEW YORK」に収録されていたユニットDNAの唯一の12インチ・アナログ盤が再発されています。悶々として頭を掻きむしりたい時などは、これをかけて発散しましょう! New York's DNA have had a massive effect on alternative / indie rock around the world, despite the trio never releasing a full-length studio album during their four year tenure (1978-82). Various groups citing them as an influence have included Sonic Youth, Boredoms, Big Black and Blonde Redhead (the latter taking their name from DNA's most-famous song). While the band's explosive live performances captivated audiences, extant recordings captured DNA's dynamic sound and savage economy in songwriting. Originally released in 1981, A Taste Of DNA remains a primary source for No Wave archaeologists. Singer/guitarist Arto Lindsay and drummer Ikue Mori are joined by bassist and Pere Ubu founding-member Tim Wright. Across the EP's six anti-epic tracks, the band charges forward with jagged guitars and dislocated grooves, while Lindsay's guttural screams create a thoroughly personal semantics. As Marc Masters writes in the liner notes, "A Taste Of DNA has a kind of sum-of-parts insanity, wherein every musical element sounds conventionally off, like puzzle pieces purposefully jammed together at the wrong ends." This first-time vinyl reissue is recommended for fans of The Contortions' Buy and Red Crayola's The Parable Of Arable Land. (SUPERIOR VIADUCT) Side A 1. NEW FAST 2. 5:30 3.
