The Noyes Brothers -- Sheep From Goats 2xLP

100 Minutes Of Solamar/Miro

Original 1980 UK release on Object Music (UK) (catalog # OBJ 009/010), with gatefold sleeve.

An experimental DIY post-punk masterpiece. Twisted, sparse, and manic brilliance. Limited edition of 1000. If you ever wondered what The Shadow Ring would sound like if you could transport them back to 1979-80 along with a bunch of sheep and goats... well, here it is and it's even better than you'd guessed.

Record Collector Review: Steve Solomar and Steve Miro met in Manchester in 1966, though it took until the mid-70s for them to start making music most notable in the band Spherical Objects, whose two albums were self-released on the Object Music label in 1978 and 1979. They then began working under the name The Noyes Brothers, releasing this limited edition, 1,000-only double-album in 1980.

Musically, it stood apart as the duo’s influences ranged from rock to Sun Ra. While Night Sky Vision sounds like Beefheart played by Johnny Marr, I Am You trumps Wire’s debut album by delivering a delicious, infectious song that clocks in at one minute and 20 seconds. At the other end of the spectrum, It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time clocks in at over 25 minutes and at times sounds like an outtake from The Residents’ Fingerprinz album (that is a good thing).

As this was recorded on four-track the instrumentation and arrangements are at times sparse, but this works to their advantage, especially on the tracks Archetypical Memory, It Must Be Vibration and Pointless, where guest female vocalist Joe Boyer really gives these songs a compelling edge.
