Description
(.3 E/11,000 VOLTS ) by (MARS )...... ....(A FAN SAYS: I bought this one as a teenager solely for the reason that I thought the band on the cover looked like the coolest band ever. I had heard Mars’ contribution to the No New York compilation and it had been my least favorite. To my teenage ears, it sounded like pure noise and not in a good way. So why then, would I subsequently go out and buy this release? Because I, like everyone else, am succeptible to marketing and like I said, they looked like the coolest…band…ever. Well joke was on me cuz I got it home and tried to play it and viola, it sounded like pure noise. Dammit! Tricked again by cool packaging! Flash forward, twenty years and I pick this thing up yet again. This time its because of the bands’ “historical significance”. I’m more mature now, y’see. And wouldn’t you know, it doesn’t sound so much like noise anymore? In fact, the A Side is dare I say, rather conventional. Sure it’s noisy as fuck but it is not just noise in and of itself. Kapiche? Mars really made a truly evil sounding No Wave racket. In fact, when either of these songs pop up on my ipod while I am on the train, the city suddenly morphs into something existentially evil and foreboding, which is ironically enough, just how I like it--THIS IS A VERY RARE FRENCH ISSUE ON THE REBEL RECORDS LABEL SL IS vg++ HAS SOME AGE WEAR AND STAINS DISC IS M- TO MINT )........
