 ART OF NOISE: Beatbox (ZTT)
As a
journalist Paul Morley could never pull his trousers up. He had an ear
for the unique but his prose was embarassing. His intellectual penis
hung limply from every sentence, it made people wish for sharp knives to
cut off the useless object.
Now Morley has
found his Horn (Trevor) in the camp of ZTT there Is an organ(isation)
gorged with blood at work, throbbing and vital. It shot all over the
moralists, smeared their ears in it, as Bankie Went To Barclays with
pockets of money.
What that
proved is a gimmick tends to succeed where radical music too often
fails. But not this time. When 'Into Battle' was released last year Dave
Henderson commanded you to take a taste, most didn't bother, so here's a
second coming (sic). Noise is rhythm and melody is noise after all.
'Beatbox' has
been drastically overhauled from its position in the front line of 'Into
Battle' 's cycle on a chord. It's the biggest idea in this pile and as
danceable as Bibi Dens (see below) which is saying more than you
bargained for.
