Right, Maryg, but on that record, the initial guitar riff by Brother McDonald already makes it clear where this is all headed...

maybe at least in the beginning when they were called Tourists and were 15 years old, but in the 90s for me they are already too heavy oriented

@italianpeople it's clear that's how it is, not so much the Polyrock melodic children of no wave but the B 52's remain an incredible original in their genre for their first and second albums (and what is their genre, who knows?)
@Woody listen to some metal with salt in your head: the Redd Kross

odadrek the two groups are different because their backgrounds are different, the intellectual-fussy New Yorker one of Polyrock while the loud-rowdy one of the Georgian B-52's, but I would mix without shame a track from the former with the latter at a party and vice versa.

I would never part with any of my old vinyl records, and where would you find them now?.. the Beasts of Bourbon, the Fuzztones, the Long Ryders, the Full Time Man, the Lyres...unless they come to cut off my electricity...The Polyrock unfortunately wouldn't hold any meaning today other than sentimental for those who listened to them back in the day...today they'd say it's a ridiculous load of crap.

The Polyrock were minimalists produced by Philip Glass capable of writing great, catchy, and neurotic songs akin to Talking Heads with just a few chords. I remember "Romantic Me," "No Love Lost," "Green for Go." It's a shame they ended up in obscurity, but perhaps they were meant to be there... Anyway, some tracks were danceable like those of the B52's.
