CD Reviews

Classic slice of Punk History!

thesnappyrejoinder | 03/28/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"You are sitting in your small room but your mind is like a ballroom!Alternative Television are a hard band to categorise, born in the punk era, but influenced by a wide variety of styles. This is their ground breaking first LP. Although not that well known, it has definitely stood the test of time! It features a mixture of live and studio material, inter-spliced with samples and experimentation, eclectic rhythms, reggae, and even a great cover version of "Why don't you do me right?" (By Frank Zappa). The album not only captures the mood of the times but is a must for any alternative music fan.This is one of the reasons I don't understand why it doesn't get the respect and recognition that it thoroughly deserves. It's a classic slice of music history, punk history and the musical melting pot that was happening during the late seventies. Highlights include Good Times, Still Life and Viva La Rock `n' Roll (which features a youthful Jools Holland). The CD release also includes all the relevant 7" singles the band cut at around the same time, plus a couple of alternate takes. All in all this is a great re-issue! The album sounds just as fresh today as it did the first time I heard it. This has to be one of the most important records to come out of the punk era so if you are into the Pop Group, PIL, Can, The Fall, Zappa, Beefheart, Pere Ubu etc then you need to own a copy of this album. You will not regret buying this!"
