GANG OF FOUR
"Entertainment" vinyl LP
new LP
TM 7910 RS
Entertainment! is a collection of observations about the modern consumer life ¿ observations that, if anything, ring just as true today as in 1979. Their approach to the commodification of sexuality is as refreshing and exciting as the angular but rhythmic - even quirky - tone of the music, while many of the lyrics are as uncompromising as the guitar work.
The album remains invigorating after many repeated listens, and continues to astound when the year that it was recorded is taken into consideration. It makes a lot of what passed for punk at the time ¿ and today - sound unimaginative and lethargic, leaving the listener to question once again why Gang of Four are not as well known today as The Sex Pistols, Joy Division or REM - the latter regularly supporting them for a time.
late-'70s British postpunk era came courtesy of Gang Of Four. The band's 1979 debut, Entertainment!, poured punk, funk, and politics into a groundbreaking sound that continues to influence such worthy modern rock
