The last of the Primitive Calculators' stuff to be re-released and, in
many, many ways, it's more substantial than the expanded live album that
came out a couple of years ago. It compiles their excoriating lo-fi
electro single (+ some practise session and live material) and all of the
"Little Bands" EPs and singles. I've always been ambivalent to
these brash, noisy experiments but there's no doubting their intensity and
elementalism nor their importance in the stream of Australian underground
music, both at the time and now: you can hear elements of their sound in
hundreds of bands today (check out the 20
Jazz Funk Greats blog for a great coverage of this stuff). Once again,
thanks to Guy Blackman for his continuing fondness for the period .
