God damn it. The end of this sounds like they're just getting started and will go on for another ten minutes. I WANT THAT TEN MINUTES!
living i n Philadelphia, this is sometimes a perfect description of my loneliness.
:(
NO ONE SOUNDS LIKE PERE UBU AND HIS BAND!!! MORE THAN EVER RELEVANT .
An anthem for dissonance!
Tour dates in 2023 very limited performances.
Total genius and musically pleasing. David Thompson on vocals and Peter Laughter on guitar was the best Pere Ubu sound. Taken from two Heathen singles on the "Data Panic in The Year Zero EP and a part 2 45rpm release. From a industrial city (Ohio?) one can hear the hard edged metallic sound. Great band and this sound carried over to their first album "The Modern Dance".
David Thomas
Me too !!!
the first instrumental break is pure trascendence
Brilliant
always great , so honest
We are the lonely, rejected and neglected of this fucking modern world. And apart from a very original music and sound, this sogn is full of poetry.
Dynamic, Vivid. i keep This LP until
My Death. TueM.
Anton Haq Peter Laughner played guitar on the first two Pere Ubu singles. So you can hear him on "Darkness,""30 Sec," "Final Solution" & "Cloud 149." Of course, he's also on all the Rocket From The Tombs recordings as well.
Awesome.
We are the rejected and neglected, of this fucking modern world.
It's weird how different bands kind of work a similar sound without ripping each other off. Joy Division were around the same time and there's definitely a common sound to both bands. This is a genius compilation collecting these excellent tracks, by the first album the sound had moved on.
The band we know as Joy Division formed in mid '77. Pere Ubu's first record "30 Seconds.../Heart Of Darkness was released at the end of 1975. That doesn't mean they ripped it off, but it's perhaps more likely than not the influence came that way. :-)
ShanghaiRooster I'm sure there's something to what you say, I recently remembered that when I first heard Joy Division I thought, 'they've got that Ubu bass sound'. I think it's possible to be influenced by something without realising and I'm also sure that different people can come up with a similar sound totally independently.
@@ShanghaiRooster Yeah if you listen to the live version its even more Joy Division lets say big influence as the joys took it and ran-Ya-! -xxxxxx
Have you ever heard of "mutual discovery"? It's when two or more people develop the same kind of ideas or concepts at the same time, but completely independent of each other. It can happen in literature, films, music, etc. In this case, I would put forth the suggestion that both Pere Ubu and Joy Division had heard the German band Can and were both influenced by them. Remember that Joy Division were in Manchester, England. Pere Ubu were in Cleveland, Ohio, and prior 1978 had only released four singles on their own label.
Both came from working class industrial cities that were facing economic decline and who's weather is generally dour, cloudy and cold. No doubt they were both inspired by the rows of abandoned tenements and plants and rotting homes when they were making their music.
very Can-like...in a good way!
Jan Lier true, but being like Can is ALWAYS a good thing...
In between tracks, the network accidentally has a "sync" function provided for a respite.
Does anyone know if Peter Laughner plays on any of the tracks on Terminal Tower?
This and 30 Seconds Over Tokyo
Maxwell M. Thanks man.
@@zhiracs Also Final Solution and Cloud 149. In other words, he played on the first two singles then left the band.
@@billlloyd4029 He didn't just leave the band, he left the planet... I'm pretty sure he somehow managed to drink himself to a cirrhotic death by the age of 24. He did some 'solo' work but it sucks... Only time he actually was in a recording studio was with Pere Ubu. While I no longer drink, I can imagine 1970's Cleveland (or any mid-western city for that matter) being a perfect place to enter late-stage alcoholism by early 20s.
@@GavinoFelix I like some of his solo stuff.
This one for my neighborhood. Graveyard Island Defence Force.
I love that album artwork , can someone tell me by who it was made ?
me too!
David Thomas' UbuProjex has details for "Terminal Tower" which says 'Original artwork and photos by Mik Mellen'. He also did photography for other Pere Ubu releases, and UbuProjex is very helpful with other details.
PROTO-punk - NuBLU-Rock-etc.... Pere u bu - is pere upu ... UniQUm..
Lookin in to the hot chocolate
maybe sanctuary is an electric light . . .
Great verse. This song is full of poetry.
Sounds like Joy Division
Lame. Discount version of Joy Division.
sorry to disappoint you, but there was a music before Joy Division - this single was originally released in 1975!
@@dejan_krsic regardless of the release date they still sound like a Joy Division cover band. I stand by my first statement.
@@cavdragoon fools paradise.
@@dejan_krsic 🥱
Umm... Pere Ubu sound nothing like Joy Division. Clean the gunk out of your ears boyo.
