Blurt - In Berlin. great album!
 

anybody heard this album?

just listened to it for the first time and it's unbelievable stuff . . .

it's like james chance meets john cale (paranoia era "leaving it all up to you" "sabotage" etc)

no wave.

search "blurt in berlin blogspot" and you'll find it. i highly recommend it!

yes awesome album-owned it years ago when it came out-i saw blurt live in toronto years ago too. at the masonic temple on young street. they opened for new order(!) when new order was just brand new. new order stank-they got halfway through one song and their equipment gave up on them-a roadie stood on stage trying to make sense of the synthesizer instruction manual-to no avail-the new order crapped out and gave up-but fortunately blurt had already blown away the crowd with their opening set. it was love at first sight for me. even the singer's look was totally cool and unique (for the times) he wore a suit that didn't fit with no shirt or socks and he had really ****ed up looking hair, like it was too small for his head...
live in berlin is a really hard record to find now-my copy is long gone...
you got good taste mate

sounds very interesting, i'm gonna look into this. thanks.

also
the drummer in blurt was at one time drummer for Quintessence- a total hippie jazz/psychedelic band from the early 70s
go figure

just heard their Peel Session album and its outstanding!

i'll look into Quintessence. the name sounds familiar but i dont recall hearing them.

quintesence is nothing like blurt-i just think its funny that there would be a connection seeing as how disimilar the 2 bands are
