Editorial Reviews
PERE UBU’s legacy as one of the most influential bands of the all time in indisputable. Melding combustable sonics into aphasic art rock throughout a career that spanned over two decades, Pere Ubu defined the outer boundaries of music as a communicable language and catalyzing malaise.
Now for the first time, THE SHAPE OF THINGS a rare, coveted, live performance is available exclusively from Morphius Distribution. Recorded at The Mistake in Cleveland Ohio on April 7th, 1976, the CD captures two distinct sets featuring classic Ubu cuts like 30 SECONDS OVER TOKYO and FINAL SOLUTION. Adding to the mystique of the album, is the unknown source of the second set recorded by an anonomyous engineer and mysteriously discovered years later.
Previously available only at Ubu live shows, a limited edition pressing of THE SHAPE OF THINGS is not just for fans of PERE UBU, by a true doecument of the genesis of punk as an art form.

Mediocre Live Album, Great Comedy Album,
This review is from: The Shape of Things (Audio CD)
Pere Ubu is a massively talented band. This album is simply a bootleg of a live show - a good live show. Unfortunately the sound quality is absolute crap. This is a great thing to have if you're a hardcore fan, and something for the history books but if you're looking to get into this band or enjoy hi-fidelity, don't bother.
Actually, the best part about this CD is the ridiculously funny banter of the fellows near the microphone who yuck it up between songs. "Let's Gator Baby! Boom! Spawoom Spawooom Spawooooom!"

By evolrobotboy "evol" (spring hill florida usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Shape of Things (Audio CD)
First off allow me to say this is by far the greatest most wonderful album to ever be in existance!!!!The blistering guitar solos the amazing vocals of non other than the vibrant.....and still relevant Whoopi Goldberg!.....You've seen her in classics such as "jumping jack flash",and ghost where she is at her comedic best.......Her singing is pretty damn good too,maybe even better than her comedy......She is a cross between snoop doggy dogg and Johnny Rotten......Simply put AMAZING!Buy this now!I love sweet gerkins!
