Here’s a couple of short clips/ rants from Pere Ubu’s David Thomas, filmed as part of the forthcoming release of new box set ‘Architecture Of Language 1979-1982’ out 18th March 2016 on Fire Records.
Pere Ubu reinvented rock music from the ground up. Equally at ease with Sun Ra and The Monkees, Glen Campbell and The MC5, Can and The Raspberries, they are the white Funkadelic. They are ramshackle, chaotic, noisy and incredibly eccentric, and they did it all on their own terms…as these videos suggest…
The second in the series of box sets, ‘Architecture Of Language 1979-1982,’ is a 4LP box set with new masters of “the scariest album ever recorded,” ‘New Picnic Time,’(1979) with its companion releases, ‘The Art Of Walking’ (1980) and ‘Song Of The Bailing Man.’(1982) Plus a disk of extras, ‘Architectural Salvage’.
