4. More imagination was poured into records produced during the no-wave movement than the rest of the lot of the seventies and eighties.
5. Nowhere else in music history has there been as diverse a smattering of artists belonging to the same movement as there were with no-wave: James Chance & the Contortions , Suicide , Glenn Branca , the Bush Tetras , DNA , Teenage Jesus and the Jerks , Mars , Swan , etc...
I'd take this any day over Joy Division / Nick Cave / the Fall / what-fucking-ever:
