Thanks. I'm glad I'm listening to this. Was listening to James Chance and I saw DNA mentioned as a similar artist. This kind of dissonant stuff is creative and unusual and I don't even find it hard on the ears. Suicide is another good group I just began listening to. This whole no-wave scene was fascinating.
The Secret History of Rock: The Most Influential Bands You’ve Never Heard. Roni Sarig. This book has a great chapter about No Wave bands. You might like it.
Listening to this and 20 Jazz Funk Greats at the same time. But then I felt like it was too orderly and added Mars - The Complete Studio Recordings; that balanced it out nicely.
A fucking masterpiece, insanely atonal but so organized in structure and soundscape. Brutal as hell, raw emotions. I swear, I've tried making shit like this for my band and it's hard. It's odd how the high notes with a mild overdrive sound so angry and powerful. It's a different kind of brutal compared to stoner metal or doom shit but it's fucking badass.
You should try black/death metal/noise stuff. Try Hissing, Gnaw Their Tongues, Primitive Man, Skin Tension, Impetuous Ritual, Encenathrakh, The Axis Of Perdition...
@@calebfarrell3466 Yeah, Primitive Man is great. There's a lot of metal that is legitimately "brutal", but then there's also a lot that only sort of pretends to be, and that is generally the more mainstream/obvious stuff, even in death and black metal realms... All of the above bands I mentioned are pretty mind-melting in their heaviness/weirdness, and dark atmosphere.
DNA - DNA On DNA full album 1248pm 288.8.23 delivering the good? intro was akin to last round up... as played by those scientific coffins of nature and the lab - killdozer.
I'm pretty sure I've heard this character performing this song "Grapefruit" in the alleys around my hood usually at about 3:30 A.M. We've run outside with camera and flashlight, but the bugger always circles off like a woodpecker somewhere out there in the darkness...
I like this band . The first songs sound to me like Bobcat Goldthwaite in his stand up character role doing the vocal part. Yeah he Bobcat is a favorite...here. their band plays with a refreshing out of the box style. Perhaps a great garage band flavor. FUN !
I think you may have singlehandedly ruined this album for me. I cant listen to this without imagining Bobcat leaping all over the stage shredding please delete your comment it is too powerful
"Delivering the Good" is such an odd and lucid track for an album that sounds at its core like someone jostling a shopping cart while a schizophrenic plays around with a snare. Tim Wright's unrelenting forward-rolling notes spun around a deep, reverberated tone like a spiderweb of dark ambience just sounds so Detached compared to the rest of the album.
puedo escuchar este álbum en repeat y en cada vuelta se pone mejor. does that answer this question? 'are you a bad enough dude to finish the entire album?'.
Stumbled upon the genre years ago bc a friend's band is "Fast No Wave," and I was totally not into it. 5 years later I redid some research on the period and I LOVE ALL THE MUSIC AND FILMS I am so glad I found this again
Dude would have benefitted from some effects pedals. Delay, phaser, reverb, chorus, distortion.... i also like to think he sometimes got mad when he messed up a song. Like maaan I was supposed to go chikitychikityweeeeeee but I went woogawoogarawr.
I LOVE IT Have you heard the DUCKS? i think "Passing the poison back to the spider" is the name of the Album. fuckin nuts. Also JEWISH UPRISING is fucking amazing. Either way, thank u for sharing.
DNA - DNA On DNA full album 1317pm 28.8.23 wasn't it sunn(((0))) supposed to do that... cure constipation? i was searching all the track listings... it reminded me of an early thrash metal set of recordings... masses of titles and the minimum music or noise. anyhow; allegedly being a bad ass constitutes sitting through this. i surmise if yer a painter then it might be profitable to paint along to this. if yer int he dark room- to develop some imagery to such music as this or prep a surface to print on etc etc... their economy runs along the lines of sex for sale so yerd be hard pressed to meet up with yer family or get any work done, anyhow... by all accounts or all cunts, i'm bad ass. i saw it thru. i licked the t-shirt and dun saw the sun rise... next question.
20 Funk Greats not a bad place to start but all you need are 2 songs: "Hamburger Lady" and "Blood on the Floor" was CRUSHING. Same vein= 1 song: Leather Nun and "Slow Death" Incredible.
I was coding all night on R and youtube played this for me. I felt something weird was going on but did not realize until "Cop buys a donut". Thank you algorithms.
DNA - DNA On DNA full album 1247pm 28.823 anyone any idea of how to stop one's arm and elbow from tensing up... i have lessened the burden re: carrying a large rucksack of groceries about with me... but still... about as relevant a comment as the music is to the ear.
Funny enough, to get the jangly guitar skronk that Arto is well known for, he had to practice MORE than most people. Every song in their discography and all of his work prior and post DNA is meticulously planned, as he has to accomodate for moving incredibly quickly around a 12 string.
So many Clevelanders were in No Wave bands: Robin Crutchfield, Tim Wright (of Pere Ubu), Ikue Mori for a short time, Adele Bertei, and the master, Bob Quine of the Void-Oids 😢
Hi! If you’re still active on here, would you by any chance be able to share the files? I can’t find a download *anywhere* online, and I would love to listen to it on the go-really helps with writing! All the best ^^
i have lost the actual files years ago, however you can find them on soulseek this very moment, it is a peer to peer media sharing service that is a great source for finding deep cuts, but remember to share as well :)
"Not Moving" and Egomaniac's Kiss" were the Mt. Everest for this band. Want to hear something very similar but quite different? Check out Harry Pussy - the guitarist sounds like Tom Verlaine hosting Talking Heads and Kraftwerk in Wonderland n crack (a compliment... really). Last, I know No Trend are trendy but I saw them in 1985 during a blizzard in Cleveland; 4 words:: Frank Price was God.
Dan Hintz why? They really sucked when it came to playing their instruments, but they used that to make unique music (which is hilarious and at the same time amazing) I think this is probably the best description of DNA
Wow, that first song "You &You" sure sounds like the Gang Of Four's "At Home He's A Tourist." Something tells me those British boys were listening to this.
That is just a typical melody lol. Hardly something to criticise Gang of Four for. Though you are right as both GoF and The Pop Group went to NY at the time, witnessing Contortions, Teenage Jesus and DNA.
