Record Collector (magazine) (p.90) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "As the narrative unfolds, so do the atmosphere and sonics, thrown into a white-hot, no-holds-barred crucible of pretentiously brilliant creativity."
Pere Ubu was aptly named for Alfred Jarry's Dadaist play. One of the prime movers in post-punk, the influential Cleveland, Ohio, group took the power and volume of punk and the fractured song forms of avant-gardists like Captain Beefheart, then sent David Thomas's free-ranging vocalizing careening across the top. Founded in the 1970s, the group has undergone a multitude of manifestations to become one of the longest-lasting avant-garde ("avant-garage," they have called themselves) music groups, continuing to make uncommercial audio into the 21st century.
