当時米国ではGrange、英国はManchester Boom。

センス良し、曲良し。英国人はこういうのホント巧い。うっすらと漂うBlack Musicの影深し。ただ、Manchester出身だと思ってたら、Sheffieldだった。納得。

英Pub Rock Band「Chilli Willi & The Red Hot Peppers」脱退後、サンフランシスコでThe Residentsと出会う彼は、その指の動きからSnekefingerと呼ばれる。The Residentsにとって彼は何者だったのか。そして彼にとってThe Residentsは何者だったのか。合掌。

「Ultravox!」が「Tiger Lily」だった頃、Eddie Mealov は彼らをバックにパントマイムを演っていたらしい。RCAと裏ジャケで判る様にDavid Bowie ファンだったろう彼らはシングル2枚とアルバム2枚と短命であったが、この1stはオールドスタイルな物語と、パンクの蒼い疾走感が素晴らしい。プロデュースワークと共に非常に完成度が高い隠れた名盤。なお、C.C.は「Ultravox!」2nd「Hiroshima Mon Amour」でのサックスが印象的。

B: Now That You've Gone

Gang Of Fourしかり、"Dance Beat"を基軸としたインディーズは、"Post Punk"において数多く存在した。平行して当時メジャー音楽業界の主流にあった"New Wave"にも、それはより顕著であった。が、その反面、例えば「Throbbing Gristle」から「SPK」へと、一部のアンダーグラウンドな音楽はより深化していったのだが、不思議とその全てを隔てなく聴けたのが、Punkを背景にした同時代音楽ゆえのマジックであった。
