Ride A DoveThe rest of the staff of NNFNN is out on sick leave [widespread swine flu, very nasty] so I, Mandingo, am here to tell you about one of my favorite records of all time.
There are a lot of bands that are simply products of their time. There are less bands that are before their time. Rare is the band that is both and Harry Pussy is one of the shining examples of one. The sound is totally locked into that 90's Slitbreeze free noise sound that we all love and hold dear, but this is in a lot of ways the blueprint for quite a bit of the scene that came afterwords. I honestly don't think that Load Records would've been the same label without Harry Pussy existing.
I keep going back in my head about how much a rare and wonderful band Harry Pussy was and I think that this record exemplifies that. The first minute or so of this is just one of those moments that is forever stuck in my mind. It starts off with audience noise and then, almost out of nowhere Adris lets out this scream that I don't think has ever been equaled on record and it's followed by another scream and then all fucking hell breaks loose.
For my money there isn't a better Noise record in existence. I don't think any record I've heard comes close to this. If you haven't heard this then do yourself a favor and get this in whatever format you can. It's that fucking good. I promise.
