Flying Doesn't Help

dabowm Imagine another Eno record between 'Warm Jets' and 'Tiger Mountain' & stir in the lunatic aggression of John Cale's 'Fear'. Made on the cheap after Virgin shelved Moore's opulent 'Out' (also reissued by Drag City), it's a rougher, New Wave-adjacent album. Side 1 opens with snotty Eno-esque 'Judy Get Down' and closes with a pair of the lushest, loveliest, most mysteriously camp love songs of all time. On Side 2: a vituperative remake of Moore's own S. Happy/H. Cow scorcher 'War'. A 5 Star album! Favorite track: Caught Being In Love.

Rod Stasick Fan of his work. I heard that he was in the audience when I gave a talk in Köln, but didn’t get a chance to meet him. Just last night, I mentioned his single, “Catch a Falling Star” to a couple of friends because the lyricist just died. Looking forward to this!

about

Anthony Moore’s contribution to the post-punk pre-wave sound of London in 1979 – light with pop, fronted with meta-punk attitude and draped in strings of keyboard theory. As someone else said at the time, The perfect release! A lovely collision of art, pop and punk from the megacenter of all things in the rock and roll era.
