"In many ways, No Wave is not a clearly definable musical genre with consistent features. Various groups drew on such disparate styles as funk, jazz, blues, punk rock, avant garde, and experimental. There are, however, some elements common to most No Wave music, such as abrasive atonal sounds, repetitive driving rhythms, and a tendency to emphasize musical texture over melody - typical of the early downtown music of La Monte Young. No Wave lyrics often focused on nihilism and confrontation."tracklisting:

Such a wonderful genre as a whole. I was already familiar with a few of the artists (Theoretical Girls, Bush Tetras, Mars, Teenage Jesus) but the others were all really great. This may be the first genre pack where I've very much liked every single song in the whole kit up.
