Mission of Burma - Vs. CD/DVD
SKU
04-OLE731
The second album by the best US post-punk band that I know of - think of Gang of Four, but not English. This is great stuff on its own and it's also where half of Birdsongs of the Mesozoic came from when Burma collapsed.
"The second and final studio album, released in 1982 just months before the band broke up, at the pinnacle of their songwriting and performing skills. Bonus DVD contains the entire afternoon set from the final show in Boston in 1983. Fully re-mastered from the original tapes. 32-page booklet contains ephemera, photos, and interviews."
"The almost-pop architecture is opposed by almost-Wagnerian sonic density, a dichotomy between blueprint and chaos - the competition indicated by the album's title" - Village Voice.
