INTENSE MOLECULAR ACTIVITY-I.M.A., 8" FLEXI, 1980, USA

This EP landed on my doorstep 30 minutes into the first mushroom trip I ever embarked on by myself and was summarily slapped on the turntable on a wild whim just as everything was kicking in. The damn thing just about tore my head off! This New York unit may have been operating in post-No Wave quarters, but in the same way that Chrome took the post punk template and juiced it with psychotropic excess, this outift proffered a concoction that while bearing some comparison to the likes of Martin Rev, Dark Day, Devo and Richard Bone, takes these minimal synth/post punk stylistic trappings and hoses them down in wetly psychoactive sense deranging treatments. A true blue monster. Note: As noted in the comment board for this EP, it seems that one DJ Hell lifted the first track here ("Blurb") virtually intact and uncredited for his airheaded electroclash club hit "Keep On Waiting", which makes him sorta the P-Diddy of the Peaches set. I bet he'll just be thrilled to see his little ruse exposed here!
