Price (incl. 19% VAT): €17.50 More Info "Die NEW BLOCKADERS sind eine Gruppe, die mehr als jede andere die Essenz des wahren Noise sowohl in Kunst als auch Musik definiert. Ihren Einfluss auf die aktuellen Crossover Noise Künstler wie PRURIENT und WOLF EYES ist nicht zu verkennen. Seit ihren ersten Schritten Anfang der 80er in der Gesellschaft des Industrial Grind von THROBIING GRISTLE und den kantigen Power Electronics von WHITEHOUSE, standen THE NEW BLOCKADERS immer für die Reinheit ihrer Vision. Ihr erstes Album, "Changez Les Blockers" von 1982, ist Noise in seiner ursprünglichsten Form: metallisches Knirschen und analoges Feedback definierten die Grenzen von Musik neu. Die abstrakte Form und die dadaistische Konstruktion stellten alles Dagewesene in Frage. Die Band sollte nur selten und dann anonym auftauchen. Alben kamen noch unregelmäßiger und meist in kleinen Stückzahlen. Kollaborationen mit Thurston Moore von SONIC YOUTH und MERBOW in jüngerer Vergangenheit haben den Sound von THE NEW BLOCKADERS auch einer jüngeren Generation nähergebracht. Das Metallgehaue von K2, die Ungemütlichkeit von RUNZELSTIRN&GURGELSTOCK, die Dichte von MACRONYMPHIA und die Kantigkeit von MERZBOW sind nicht ohne die Einflüsse der Anti-Musik der NEW BLOCKADERS." [label info/ Cargo] "Volume III in a series of UK / European / US and Japanese artists’ tributes to the pioneering UK Noise group The New Blockaders including exclusive tracks by: Z’EV, The Haters, Controlled Bleeding, Thurston Moore, Jim O’Rourke, Wolf Eyes, Macronympha, Emil Beaulieau, AMK, Idea Fire Company, John Wiese, Daniel Menche, Damion Romero, Aaron Dilloway, Lockweld, Prurient, Richard Ramirez, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Jason Kahn, mnortham, Carlos Giffoni, Blue Sabbath Black Cheer, etc. Artwork by Richard Rupenus (TNB) The New Blockaders are a group who, more than any other, define the essence of true Noise music both in art and in act. Their influence on the current crop of popular crossover Noise artists such as Prurient and Wolf Eyes is immeasurable. Emerging at the beginning of the 1980s alongside the Industrial grind of Throbbing Gristle and the harsh, abrasive Power Electronics of Whitehouse, TNB stood out through a purity of vision. Their first record, 1982’s Changez Les Blockeurs, is noise in its most rudimentary form: metallic grating sounds and analogue feedback redefined what could be classified as music. Its abstract form and Dadaist construction challenged all that had appeared before. It’s anti-music approach presented a recording closer to the theory-driven work of Einsturzende Neubauten than their supposed contemporaries.They would appear rarely and when they did it would be in anonymity. The records would emerge even more infrequently with little information and in tiny runs. Collaborations in recent years with artists such as Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and Merzbow have bough their anti-sound to a younger and diverse audience. The metal-bashing of K2, the awkwardness of Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock, the density of Macronympha and the abrasiveness of Merzbow all owe something to the anti-music of TNB. They can truly be credited as pioneers of Noise music as we know it today.
