Yeah, I have the LP so I don't think I'll get the cd. Not yet anyway. It is a top LP though...one of the best of the early-ish stuff I think.

I still don't see what the fuss about this band is. Their records are ok at the very least, and yes, I haven't seen them live, but isn't a band meant to be the shit because both their records and their live outings are awesome? I think it is, but I might be too demanding in that department. NNCK aren't that particularly good at all, argue about it all you like.

what albums have you listened to? I agree that they are amazing live. always unpredictable but there releases were really excting for me to obtain. there' a lot to the total package so if you've just been downloading the music, the experience is incomplete. i used to spend loads of time trying to get a handle on their strange hieroglyphics and weird adaptation of grafitti style art.

Really? Isn't the ostentatious live show, the absurd self-created mystique, the ridiculous theatric that Michiko in particular follows enough? I mean, they're still amazing, but I completely understand why Mr L in particular thought they were pretentious. They ARE pretentious, I just happen to enjoy their pretentiousness more than anyone else doing the round at the moment.

I'm not sure how you are defining pretentious - you accuse them of vanity or you have a problem with their ambitiousness?
anyone seeing them this week in NY? |

I don't have any problems with them, I do happen to think, short of Haino, they're the best live band doing the rounds at the moment. Aaaaaaaand I'm still drunk.

I've not seen them live yet but even so, they're probably the only 'alternative' band I can think of at the moment that genuinely excite me. Maybe it's because they sort of remind me of a really early Amon Duul (who I also love) and, let's face it, you don't often get to say that about a band these days.
As for the pretentious thing, yeah, they are. But then this is a board dedicated to Sonic Youth, who aren't exactly Slade, are they? |

Just saw nnck last night here in New York. Really reinforced why I liked them in the first place. They are one of the weirdest and most psychedelic noise bands I've ever seen. When their collective genius at jam-logic is channelled into total collage mode the results are staggering and awesome. A really great sounding band that shifts through various dimmensions effortlessly. They sound unlike any other band, and there is no other band that can do what they do when they are on top of their game.

They still are not all that, and by that I mean all that weird. They don't sound that shocking at all, but they have some cool moments. Funnily enough, I loved them big time by hearing the live stuff that Nefeli sent me, and by also watching some great youtube clips. Greatest band? Yawn. Yawn.Yawn.

Well 'greatest' is a silly way to describe any band, obviously. They're not revolutionising music. In the big scheme of things they aren't that significant. But when it comes to kicking back, I can think of few better soundtracks. I also like their fusion of mysticism with a kind of anarcho-collective spirit. This too isn't new (Amon Duul, Hawkwind, etc) but I can live with that.
