Comment:

Yet another labor of love and looooong time project...No-WaveNotes as per WikipediaNo Wave was a short-lived but influential offshoot of punk rock centered in New York City during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The term No Wave was partly a satiric wordplay rejecting the commercial elements of the then-popular New Wave genre, and also a declaration of the music's experimental nature: No Wave music belonged to no fixed style or genre.In many ways, No Wave is not a clearly definable genre. There is, for example, no fixed harmony as in most rock music and blues music. There are some elements common to many No Wave performers, including abrasive atonal sounds, strong emphasis on repetitive rhythm, and more emphasis on mood and texture than on conventional melody. Lyrics often focused on nihilism and confrontation or were puzzlingly abstract.As you will note, a number of artist's represented are not "true" no-wavers, but rather post-punk bands which musical reach broke into similar territories. Similarly, post-disco groups, such as Konk, Liquid Liquid, E.S.G., Arthur Russell, et al, have been included (and have in many cases been grouped with no-wave.) Lastly, I've also included a few groups who drew inspiration from No-Wave, such as Big Black & Cop Shoot Cop.Thanks to LoFi for consultation.And, in conclusion, please allow me to leave you with the words of Lydia Lunch who said, "the dishes are cracked/the forks are plastic/the food is in cellophane/I puke elastic". Indeed.Editor's Note: DNA accidently ommitted when entering mix listing. A criminal offense when putting together any No-Wave Mix. Thanks for the catch. Luckily, I haven't "pressed" any of these, as of yet.
