A few blocks away from the bands that populated 'No New York', plenty of equally awkward, equally angry Soho combos had sprung up. Without the visuals of un-beautiful young New Yorkers standing stock still while they play to distract you, a much more varied experience arises here. Chatham & Branca's bands have cutting art-school focus, while some are just charming pop bands stripped of their polish. Moments where players seemed like they might drop their instruments mid-song from sheer ineptitude now seem laden with sophisticated restraint. 4 cuts that aren't on the dvd. Tracklisting: Theoretical Girls-Glazened Eyes, UT-Sharp's Loose, A Band-Sand & Sea, A Band-Mirror Mirror, Rhys Chatham-Guitar Trio, Chinese Puzzle-Great Wall of Prague, Static-The Spectacular Commodity, Morales-Gay Girl in a Gay Bar, Youth in Asia-Talking Heads, Youth in Asia-Amnesia, Steve Piccolo-Superior Genes, Chinese Puzzle-Chinese Funk, Jill Kroesen-Fay Shism Blues, Steve Piccolo-It's Hard to Be in Love in Times Like These, Static-My Relationship, Theoretical Girls-Contrary Motion.
