The Unit Training Film #1: Warm Moving Bodies Taas üks ebaõiglaselt unustatud pärle, mis üleskaevamist ja tolmust puhtaks pühkimist väärib. The Units oli üks esimesi USA elektroonilisi new wave-bände ning sündipungi pioneere. Oma esinemiste taustaks näitas bänd alati filme, mis olid kokku klopsitud vanadest õppefilmidest, koduvideotest ja veidratest leidudest. Õigupoolest oli tegu üheainsa filmiga, mida vastavalt esinemise pikkusele muudeti. Kord oli film 10-minutiline, vahel aga kolmveerandtunnine ning uute lõikude lisandumisega osad jupid kadusid. See 5-minutiline versioon siin sisaldab ka juppe bändi esinemistest [...]

Bon j'avoue c'est les vacances, j'ai la tête en vrac et j'ai la flemme de poster... Je suis impardonnable ! Bref j'ai un coup de motiv' mais de courte durée juste le temps de vous filer quelques sons pour vous exploser encore plus la tête en mode gueule de bois. Je commence avec une bonne découverte : Xerak . Assez difficile à qualifier comme genre mais je vais essayer : on va dire de la pop survoltée bien saturée avec des vocals qui tapent dans le cartoon tout ça dans un univers assez psychedelique... bref ça [...]

It's been an unusally hectic Sunday and yet another massive thunderstorm is bearing down upon the northwest suburbs of Boston, so I'm going to have to leave you to puzzle out this following sequence from "Poison Ivy," a gag strip from the rich vein of material that is Feature Comics #98, on your own... The Units - Tight Fit (from Digital Stimulation , 1979) - Together in electric nightmares. [...]

Rock Werchter'den döndükten sonra festivalin uzunca bir incelemesini yazmaya başlamadan önce kulağıma takılan bir albümü incelemek istedim. Ayrıca bir nebze de nefes almam lazım yoksa fazla ballandıracağım anlatırken. Monte La Rue Belçikalı bir DJ/prodüktör. Fakat müziğine bakarsanız Miami'den veya Ibiza'dan çıktığına yemin edebilirsiniz. İlk albümleri "Interludia" oldukça dikkat toplamıştı özellikle chill out sevenler arasında. Şimdi çıkan yeni albümleri de benzer bir etki yarattı. Yoğun bir geceden sonra rahatlamak için sıcak banyoyla birlikte ilaç gibi gelen bir tarzları var. Aslında Monte La Rue yaptığı toplama albümlerle de oldukça ilgi çekti fakat bu kadar güzel müzik yapabiliyorken [...]

Ó mæ. So quietly I yell It's my time now... The Units . Ólýsanlega gott sjö-manna synthapaunk frá San Francisco. Bandið var stofnað sem artý-band 1978, og á þeim sex árum sem bandið lifði gekk allskonar á: þeir breyttust úr sjö-manna súpersveit í tveggja-manna band, hættu saman, byrjuðu saman, misstu trommarann í sama túr og tveir aðrir meðlimir bættust við, túruðu með OMD, hituðu upp fyrir Ultravox, Gary Numan og Soft Cell, og gáfu (auðvitað) út fullt af frábæru stöffi, en urðu aldrei frægir. Hættu svo 1984 eftir að plötuleibelið drap plötuna þeirra. [...]

As I mentioned in the Firestorm post, our attachment to things from our childhood tends to be predicated on personal context (i.e. simple nostalgia or other associative factors) and the sad fact our younger selves lacked the capacity to know crap when they saw, heard, or ate it. That's not a dismissal; it's an important part of the growing up process, empirically developing internal filters to separate sheep from goats. It leaves splinters, though, pockets of exceptionalism that get carried into our adult lives. For a many a kid who came of age in the Golden [...]

They say that 'If you don't know where you came from, you'll never get to where you're going'. But if you don't know where you're going you'll probably end up in the bad part of town & get your Italian leather boots stolen. What does it all mean? I means it's New Wave Tuesday. And I know, why New Wave Tuesday & not New Wave Tuesday or Thursday? There are no days that start with an 'N' so it doesn't matter which day it's on. Right? RIGHT. Here's some of [...]
Yesterday , I took a stab at imaging what today's Alessandra Stanley review of the new television program The Unit would look like. You can compare my version to the real thing , as it appears today in the New York Times . I think I was a little kinder than she was. What do you think?
