Vinyl LP pressing. Formed in 1976 in Brixton, a multicultural, and - at the time - down-at-heel part of south London, This Heat were born into a music scene in rapid flux, first thanks to the punk explosion and then via new wave and it's myriad offshoots into pop, rock and art-rock. But while many sought to apply punk attitude to chart-friendly sounds, This Heat were concocting some of the most experimental ideas ever committed to tape, taking influence from musique concrète, krautrock, the burgeoning industrial scene and even the dub reggae blasting out in their home borough. Recorded from 1979 - 1980 Repeat/Metal is essentially This Heat's third proper album, although it was released posthumously in 1993. Arguably their most radical work, Repeat/Metal features side-length tape experiments ranging from the dubby drum loops of "Repeat", a 20 minute edit/reworking of their landmark piece "24 Track Loop", to the gamelan-inspired sounds of "Metal", an electro-acoustic work recorded outside of their studio, Cold Storage, and helmed by member Gareth Williams.

A perfect missing piece
This one makes the early material of This Heat complete, the recordings here consists of two unreleased tracks which are strong and meditative, and after REPEATed listening will be great, together with that smash hit "Graphic Varispeed" from the fabolous "Health and Efficiency" 12" maxi single from 1980. This one should be listened to after first listening to the first s/t album and then you go on to "Deceit". This Heat is one of the most important and influental bands of the postprog pre/post punk new/no wave avantart rock era and 5 stars for any of their recordings (the Live at Krefeld excepted) isn't just enough.

そういえばナイン・インチ・ネイルズもリミックスが良かった
凄い!個人的にはオリジナル・アルバムより相性が合う。リミックスの方が良くなるというのは、客観的になれるせいか、(良い意味合いで)無責任になれるからなのか?
