Editorial Reviews

Chronique amazon.fr
Si le patronyme du groupe est pioché chez le pataphysicien Alfred Jarry, sa musique semble venir de nulle part. A écouter ses rythmes trépidants, les riffs de guitare répétitifs de Tom Herman et la voix haut perchée de l'excentrique David Thomas dont on ne rencontre guère d'équivalents que chez les Talking Heads et PIL en les personnes de David Byrne et Johnny Lydon, elle ressemble à un improbable croisement entre le blues concassé de Captain Beefheart et les chansons robotiques de Devo. Des titres comme "The Modern Dance" et "Life Stinks" écrit par le rock critic Peter Laughner sont typiques de ce punk rock arty alors que "Chinese Radiation" diffuse une ambiance plus cinématographiquement contemplative. Séminal, ce groupe du Midwest a influencé l'avant-garde new-yorkaise de la fin des 70's. --Philippe Robert
