 The Raybeats successfully dove into a certain kind of instrumental light music... grafting a bit of that poison practiced in their original band.

 Intelligent, ironic, and utterly forgotten, the Raybeats leave behind with Guitar Beat another small fragment... proving that No Wave deserves its place in the history of rock.

The Raybeats' 1981 album Guitar Beat revitalizes No Wave by blending surf and instrumental rock with cleverness and subtle aggression. Despite being underrated, it showcases virtuosic guitar work and spirited saxophone, all produced by Martin Rushent. This album marks a fun transformation from the bleakness of the earlier No Wave scene, highlighting a unique cross-genre style that stands out in 1980s New York music history. Explore The Raybeats' unique take on instrumental No Wave—listen to Guitar Beat and rediscover a hidden 80s classic today!

 From the indie contract and partnership with Mr. 'free form freak out' came their most challenging and controversial work.

 It seems, on the contrary, the classic dead end into which their art has stumbled, at the end of one of the brightest creative cycles in rock history.

Pere Ubu's 'The Art Of Walking' marks a challenging and controversial phase in the band's history with a new guitarist and indie label backing. The album showcases impressive moments of sharp riffs and restless vocals but is weighed down by several uneven and experimental tracks that fail to fully engage. While some songs shine, much of the free-form territory comes across as boring or incomprehensible. This work represents both a creative peak and a dead end before future revival. Explore Pere Ubu's daring and divisive album 'The Art Of Walking'—listen now and judge this experimental classic for yourself!
