REMA-REMA - WHEEL IN THE ROSES



So this band existed for all of one year. Their lone release has a whopping 4 songs. One of their songs was covered by Big Black a whole bunch. It's that one that goes "REMA-REMA! REMA-REMA! REMA-REMA! HAHAHAHA!!!" for 4 minutes. And is that a darn catchy song. The other 3 songs include the 7 minute opener "Feedback Song", and 2 live tracks, "Instrumental" and "Fond Affections".

So half of this is studio and the other half live? Christ.

But its noisy!! And awfully British sounding. That makes it kinda silly. Silly Brits.

And the song "Rema-Rema" has a whole bunch of silly sound effects during it that sound like leftovers from a Kraftwerk album. And "Instrumental" actually has some lyrics! But I can't understand them.

Basically, this was a glorious mess of mid-tempo noisy grade school ballads for ice fishers everywhere. And boy oh boy, do I wish I was an ice fisher.

OVERALL RATING - squiddidly bop!
KEY TRACKS - "rema-rema", "instrumental"
