Music reviews of 78+
Music Review: amazingly strange and intense
Rating: 5 Stars
ah, i've been meaning to get this for a long time, a compilation album from the darkest and grandest of the no wave bands, Mars. opening with 3-E, a fast weird song with the strangest pounding drums you'll likely hear, the album progresses through the slow and subtle to the baraging and pulverising. 11,000 volts is almost as spacey and warped as you can get, while helen forsdale, my favorite song, is just as weird as you can possible imagine. in fact, i'd be willing to tell you that helen fordale is one of the best songs of the seventies, but how to describe it...
mars is just so difficult to put to words; as much an avant garde ensemble as they were a rock or new york styled punk band, they always felt more complex to me than the other big no wave bands, there's something deep going on here. there really is a lot of variety here, more than i would have though, from brooding dirges, near rock songs, and clacking noisey songs.
well this collection is mostly worth it for the no new york tracks and their first 7", though some of the other songs are pretty warped and good too, like outside africa and cats. overall, i don't really know if this is better or worse than that other Mars compilation record that was more recently put out, but i do know that Mars was one hell of a grand trip, and my favorite no wave band.
