This is a very important record to musical history. Its the best document of the short lived no wave scene in new york back in the 70s. Its the scene sonic youth eventually sprung from.This compilation is classic. I recently turned a friend onto it.

Who's your favorite band on this comp? Do you feel its unfair that red transistor and theoretical girls didn't get on it? Have you further explored this genre?

My favorite band on this is definetly James Chance and the Contortions, but I like all the bands on this comp. Chance just sounds so crazy with that weird sax playing mixed with weird rhythms.Wish he had done more.

i also like the contortions the best. "flip your face" is actually steve albini's all time favorite songs. also, check out that contortions album irrestistable impulse i.. amazing.

you know what's odd.. i was actually going to make a poll the other day "favorite band on no new york". hmph..

haha "Everything" is a classic. every song is lydia lunch singing "AH AH AH AH" to the bass/drums going "BUN BUN BUN BUN" and then the guitar shrieks. that's every song! (except the ones with james chance)

well, i think james chance has the best songs on this particularly comp.. but i think dna is the best of all the bands.. if only because every dna song has arto lindsay with one hand on the 2nd, 3rd, and 12th frets of his guitar while his other hand just pushes the strings down as far as they could go. and that's it!

no wave rules.

Remember taking ages to hunt this down then, when i finally got it, feelng a bit let down. I still think it's more of historical than musical interest.

Hey, I think I might've just dissed a corner-stone of the whole No Wave scene. Wow.

Never heard the whole comp, nor have I heard James Chance + Contortions... but I'm gonna say Teenage Jessus + Jerks. They fucking rule.

And rawdick... WHAT THE FUCK?! I need proof!

excuse me, what asskrak?

swa(y): yes, but they sprung from that scene, their first shows were attended by arto lindsay and lydia lunch, glenn branca employed them and jim sclavanous played on confusion is sex.

I agree with this sentiment. It's a good record, and I can imagine it must've been really exciting when it first came out, but I wouldn't say it's the best compilation I have. I do like the Mars tracks, and I need more of their stuff, but the rest doesn't really appeal to me.

It was re-issued on a Russian label a couple of years ago... Lilith Records, a quick internet search reveals.

Available here. There's quite a sexy picture disc there as well.
