Yeah just seeing all those names in print again made me throw up a little.

Were you into pills? Because the droopy-eyed zombies at Neo were all on pills while this stuff played in the background.

It's one of the most fantabulistic intros/songs that I have ever heard & they deserve atleast 1 gajillion in royalties from all the hip hop artists who have sampled them. I have heard only one song by liquid liquid......sampled by Grandmaster Flash.

.

I totally agree ..leaving that running naked part. Who do you think was a better sampler, Grandmaster Flash or Grandmaster Page?

It makes the Contortions look like a bunch of pussies, and I'm not kidding.

Thank you. The Contortions would be great without some of the worst saxophone playing ever.

I think Dark Magus has some of those moments. Live Evil also. Trying to convince someone who hates jazz to listen to those albums is impossible. You just put them on when they aren't looking and watch as they think "Oh shit."

There are a few live James Brown albums from the late 60s that are about 50 million times as intense as anything by James Chance. But, it's James Brown. No hipster would be caught dead....

It is possible to like both James Brown and the Contortions, and I do.

I have heard Live Evil, and it is pretty much jazz music, which is to say it is an unrewarding listen. You are welcome to your jazz records, and also to your Liquid Liquid. They are not for me.

The unreleased tracks on the new Comp are not really that great, just some live and half assed odds and ends that don't add up to much. if you already have the earlier comp no reason to buy this one.

I think that Chance's sax-work on "Buy" is amazing. It sounds chaotic at first, but give it time to sink in and you'll find that the notes and melodies are worked in with precision.

I have not heard this Liquid Liquid band. Will check them out presently and report back later.

Dude, I love the Contortions, and Chance's sax playing is a big reason why. It's some of the most absolutely incompetent, idiotic sax playing ever, and it's hilarious! It just adds that much more demented aggression.

"Rated X," while pretty different, is better because it is even more intense than the Contortions.

But, it's James Brown. No hipster would be caught dead....

This is the first I have ever heard of this...

...there are really people who don't like James Brown? It's not hip to like James Brown?

Okay, now I declare open fucking war on hipsters. This is a crime against taste that must be rectified.

I have never met a human being who dosen't enjoy James Brown. Even old people like james Brown. Christians like James Brown.
