Produced by Brian Eno in 1978 as a snapshot of the emerging New York no wave scene focusing on four of the most innovative and abrasive acts with four songs a piece from DNA (Arto Lindsay, iIkue Mori, Robin Crutchfield), Lydia Lunch's Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, James Chance and the Contortions and Mars. An essential musical and historical document whose influence (and the adventurous scene that birthed it) has permeated deeply into contemporary cutting edge music.
