5.0 out of 5 stars
Incredible, essential,
By diggy (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Downtown 81 (Audio CD)
You'd be hard pressed to find latin funk mingling with art rock, electro, hip hop and ambient in today's East Village. This album is a brilliant collection of a unique, pre-Juliani/Disney New York City moment where art, music, fashion, and the scene came together in a vibrant pastiche of sounds, attitudes and colors.
All the tracks are worth listening to and are completely varied but still cohesive. Standouts are the Kid Creole and Coati Mundi tracks, which put early Talking Heads into perspective, Suicide's "Cheri" (sexy Jesus & Mary style dirge), and DNA's post punk freakout song Blond Redhead. Check out the movie too. It's a brilliant, slightly cheesey and strange time capsule, more about mood and vibe than plot. The filmmakers were unwitting witnesses to the last great art movement in NYC.
