‘A reissue of the Neutral LP, subtitled ‘music for the first 127 intervals of the harmonic series. Recorded in 1983 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, with Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Barbara Ess, Margaret DeWys, Michael Gira, Amanda Linn and co. Classic early Branca.’

A beautiful, close-harmony warning — loose, mystical and heavy.
The Radics at Channel One with Scientist at the desk.

The first Premature is by Thomas Boutwood, from South London. Veolia is hazy, nervously minimalist synth hypnosis; Droid is a knees-up, industrial-techno frightener.

Mythical 1981 recording by the Mancunian eleven-piece, supervised by Prince Hammer. Reason was the sound-boy weapon. Compellingly off-kilter and atmospheric.
