DNA - DNA on DNA

 

The complete studio recordings + live documents of the astounding DNA, a classic no wave provocation from the late 1970s and early 1980s. They didn't exist for very long, boy what an impact they made. Guitarist/singer Arto Lindsay (who would become a staple in the John Zorn orbit of downtown NYC players), drummer Ikue Mori (who would later drop the drums in favor of electronics), keyboardist Robin Crutchfield (who would go on to make solo albums as Dark Day) and bassist Tim Wright (who played in an early line-up of Pere Ubu) made an alienating, angular, tense and tightly-wrapped racket. These recordings are massively influential. Collected on a CD in 2004, reissued as a double LP set and are now hard to come by. So here they are.
