Mr Right, odnosno Mr Wrong (onaj sa zastrašujućim avatarom) dopustio mi je da otvorim topic.

više o meni dragoj grupi na sljedećem linku:

tko voli punk rock, siroviji zvuk svakako će mu se svidjeti

(I love a man in uniform im je vjerojatno najpoznatija stvar)

eto zanima me ima li koga tko ih voli, a tko ne zna za njih - preporučujem

Izgleda da nitko ne zna što bi započeo s tvojim topicom...
"Punk rock", "siroviji zvuk", "I love a man in uniform"...

Odoh ja na G.O. Valjd će ti netko nešt napisat. Good luck!

[kentaur]

ako ih je tko slušao neka napiše što misli o njima, vrlo jednostavno
meni je samo žao što kod nas nisu poznatiji
(osim spomenute pjesme koja je u stvari poprilično različita od ostalog repertoara)
sretno na g.o.

a sad koja bi to ''vrsta'' muzike bila, to je dosta diskutabilno

evo da ne ostanemo samo na epitetu ''siroviji'' a kome se ne da klikati na gornji link, sljedeći review

The Gang of Four's debut, the Damaged Goods EP, was one of the best records of 1978. They took the dynamics of a rock band and turned them inside out. They added ideas from dub and reggae and a big dollop of social realism, sexual anxiety and Marxism. Andy Gill's guitar spluttered and crackled, exploding into violent jagged chords. Jon King ranted and yelped.

But Solid Gold comes from 1981. We are in difficult second album territory. I saw them live around this time: they were very loud and pretty exciting. Solid Gold captures none of that. The two extra live tracks included with this reissue give you a better taste of their power. But for the first five tracks of Sold Gold they trudge lumpily through different versions of the same lacklustre idea. The production is really dull.

''Paralyzed'' paints an accurate picture of early eighties Britain: tense, gray, downtrodden and miserable. But it's not much fun to listen to. The album only takes off more than half way through with ''In The Ditch''. This boasts a memorable hook, clever ideas and some real funk.

Much better is the EP Another Day, Another Dollar, also included here. ''To Hell With Poverty'' is a nervy yet toe-tapping slice of white funk. ''Capital (It Fails Us Now)'' is a great song title, and a phrase I still find myself muttering when watching some new fiasco on the evening news.

Bands like Fugazi owe the Gang of Four a big debt for both their music and their attitude. But when Fugazi rage against the system it feels empowered and inspiring. Solid Gold feels like being lectured by a Guardian reader about other people's oppression.

Ironically, the Gang Of Four were more musically advanced than contemporaries like Joy Division or The Fall. But Solid Gold lacks that touch of visionary madness; that lust for extremes that marks a truly great band. Interesting, but not essential.

ti meni

[dinsdale]

A šta je - je. Uz post punk se dobro pije. Baš je apetitlih za tu vrstu ubijanja sivih stanica.

[kentaur]

eh, još bolje se pije na Ramonese kod smo kod usporedbe ispijanja
(mada ja već odavno nisam u formi govorim iz mutnog sjećanja)

Vidim, you found that essence rare potrebnu da Krivi dopusti otvaranje topica...

[kentaur]

vidim ti poznaješ tematiku

a sad malo citiranja:

Everybody is in too many pieces
No-man's-land surrounds our desires
To crack the shell we mix with others
Some lie in the arms of lovers

The city is the place to be
With no money you go crazy
I need an occupation!
You have to pay for satisfaction

We live as we dream, alone
To crack the shell we mix with the others
Some flirt with fascism
Some lie in the arms of lovers

We live as we dream, alone
We live as we dream, alone

Everybody is in too many pieces
No-man's-land surrounds me!
With no money we'll all go crazy
(we apologize)

Man and woman need to work
It helps us define ourselves
We were not born in isolation
But sometimes it seems that way

[anch_io]

nego...sto nije na onom pra-pra-forumu bio neki topic o GO4 na nekih stotinjak stranica

[kentaur]

i još samo ovo i neću više majke mi:

Don't help me I can save myself
If I'm incomplete don't fill the gaps
Save me from the people who would save me from myself
They got muscle for brains

For reasons that are not mysterious
The weak are sent to the wall
They have reservations in heaven
Down here they're not so fashionable

Don't help me I can save myself
If I'm incomplete don't fill the gaps
Save me from the people who would save me from my sin
They got muscle for brains

For reasons that are not mysterious
Morality's used as a tool
The poor are told to be contented
But in this life they've no choice at all

Meni su GoF uz Devo pojam kako treba zvučati dobar, nervozan bend. Snimio sam svojedobno frendu nekakvu kompilaciju panknjuvejvpostpank stvari i nazvao je "Unutarnja nervoza" - to mi je, ono, dominantna odrednica tog vremena i glazbe, a ova dva benda su je posjedovali u možda najčišćem izdanju. Mada ni rani XTC nisu za baciti...

[kentaur]

znala sam ja da će doći neki dobar opis
nervozni zvuk

[Lavanda]

Ima sigurno desetak i više godina kako ih nisam slušala, točnije otkad sam prodala LPjeve i kupila cd. Sad bih vjerojatno kupila kakvu kompilaciju, ak naletim na nju, jer kak ste me sjetili na Damaged goods, We live as..., ne izlaze mi iz glave. A, bili su mi svojevremeno najdraži bend.
OT Jučer sam kupila kompilaciju Pankrta, ni njih nisam dugo slušala. Jebo teoriju da kad dođeš u godine samo te jazz interesira.

A je, al nije loše da netko tu i tamo malo pofriška temu. Što bi rekli Englezi: "There's one born every minute"

Kentaure, on topic, meni je najdraža "What We All Want", najomiljenija zabava uz "Damaged Goods" je pjevanje Glorije od Thema na "I'm kissing you goodbye" dio Entertainment mi je bolji od Solid Golda, Shrinkwrapped od Malla. Eto.

[jimmy jazz]

ima Kid Loco dobru obradu...mix!
