NO SAFETY-THIS LOST LEG, LP, 1989, USA

Absolutely definitive Downtown NY R.I.O.-ish art rock, No Safety's fidgety and punchily muscular take on this genre perfectly captures a moment in time when the sundry signifiers of this scene were coalescing into something immediately identifiable. It's a sound that perfectly synthesizes what each party here brings to the proceedings from their previous units (R.I.O.-like angularity, visceral post punk immediacy, mutant funk elasticity), fusing the idiosyncratic methodologies that the participants have honed to razor sharpness in outfits like V-Effect, Skeleton Crew and The Orthotonics into something intense, commanding and full of lopsided fun.
