Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance Pere Ubu
Pickup available at Dawson Street
Usually ready within 24-48 hours - Pre-order items available on day of release.
Released in 1978 The Modern Dance captures Pere Ubu led by David Thomas and emerging from Cleveland at their most volatile and visionary: a collision of jagged punk energy, industrial noise and surreal Americana, where fractured rhythms and eerie synths reshape rock into something anxious, abstract and wholly new.
New edition celebrating 50 Years of Pere Ubu. Available on very limited Crystal Clear and White Marble Vinyl with an OBI strip.
Following their self-released first singles on Hearpen Records, the uncompromising complex debut has continuously stirred critics. Today the record is still as direct and powerful as it was first heard.
Exploding onto the scene with a handful of releases behind them, Pere Ubu's 'The Modern Dance' stunned the music world and quickly began appearing on "Most Influential" album lists.
Pere Ubu originally formed as a studio project drawing on a body of musicians who were involved in the Cleveland underground music scene that had, by August 1975, seemingly run its course. The main objective of the band at that time was to document their work and then disappear. Luckily for us they were on the cusp of changing the face of rock forever.
For this reworking, Paul Hamann at Suma has transferred from the original 2-track analogue mix tapes to digital at the highest resolution available which, is at least four times the resolution of the original. The tracks have carefully been re-mastered by sonic architect Brian Pyle so as to capture the unique qualities within.
