Its NO coincidence that AMM and The Nihilist Spasm Band evolved at the same time,and have record covers with an inordinate amount of yellow on them! Evolution has a habit of producing a similar version on different continents,in different ways and its also no surprise that it took both groups a decade to get another recording out. If one had an infinite number of Nihilist Spasm Bands, we would end up with everything from Mozart's 40th to a Tony Conrad one note drone,or even "The Birdy Song". Like biological evolution, where spontaneity and random actions lead to something better and beautiful improvised "music" on improvised instruments lead to something similar. Say "NO" to accepted conventions,"NO" to corporate rock, "NO" to popularism.This record says a big "NO" to all of these things, and more maybe even to itself! "NO" is a fine word to use in the advancement of the musical form. This is Nihilism in practice, rules are for fools, and police yourselves please.ĭOWNLOAD and play it with some volume too HERE! And,what is that thing that sounds uncannily like Sweep, the dog from the aforementioned 'Sooty Show',losing his temper? Then they start to disintegrate into something like a Recording of the Sooty Show fed through a scrambling device (mmmm, come to think of it, I'd quite like to hear that!). The tracks mostly start off as a kind of a Free Rap manifesto, berating Canada and Stupidity. The concept remains the same, basically a free for all on homemade instruments, as do the politics, if politics exists in a Nihilist utopia? Just say 'No' kids. The ten year wait, if anybody was waiting(?), for The Nihilist Spasm Bands follow up to " No record", was, if anything, 'less' 'difficult to listen to, if 'difficult' to produce. The 'difficult second album' is always an incredibly unfunny phrase used in boring, clichéd "rock band" talk. Understood?.No?.correct answer.ĭOWNLOAD this unique object that is unlike itself HERE! This concept of an impossible object was introduced by Gottlobįrege, an eminent German logician, to designate something arbitrary for Verging on the formulaic, which is ideally not what improvising is about in a Nihilistic dystopian universe? There is an order in chaos theory, hence the formula explained below:ħx~x=x: the unique object not identical with itself. What you get is more of the same as previously showcased on their first couple of recordings.Mainly, everyone improvises in different time signatures,different tunings, on homemade instruments,with the usual Nihilistic ranting here and there. They are probably listed on that silly trainspotter attractor, ' The NWW list' that is bandied about on the internet.īut, don't let that put you off, cus The 'Die or DIY? list, says they are good too. No surprise that Nurse With Wound's Steven Stapleton likes the Nihilist Spasm Band now is it?
