Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
While very much in the vein of Andrew Weatherall's pioneering 9 O'Clock Drop compilation, which turned a spotlight on the darker recesses of the punk-funk explosion of the mid-80s, In the Beginning There Was Rhythm sets its sights a little earlier. Instead, this 11-track compilation focuses on the second wave of British punk at the close of the 70s--groups such as the Slits, the Pop Group, Cabaret Voltaire, 23 Skidoo and Gang of Four--who channelled punk's revolutionary spirit into a sound inspired by reggae, funk and European electronic musical forms. There's some truly eye-opening stuff here: This Heat's "24-track Loop" predates the distorted clatter of industrial-flavoured drum 'n' bass by at least 15 years, while 23 Skidoo's "Coup" shows you exactly where the Chemical Brothers nicked the bassline for "Block Rockin' Beats" from. Meanwhile, where Gang of Four and The Pop Group offer the snottiness of punk in a more traditional style--"To hell with poverty. We'll get drunk on cheap wine!"--it comes infused with echo-laden dub tinges and deft, murky funk basslines that still sound fresh today. There's excellent sleevenotes, as well. --Louis Pattison
