meccalecca 04/23/2013 19:38A bad acid trip. This album ventures out into pretty frightening territory, while combining a vast variety of musical style. This is a complex nightmarish psychedelia. Listening will cause you to become tense, lost in darkness, paranoid.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS RECORD WHILE ON ACID!
The track list is incorrect. Theif of Fire was the original opening track. She Is Beyond Good and Evil was originally released as a single, but was later included in the reissue of this album along with the b-side 3.38 (which for some reason isn't here).
'Y' is one of the most experimental, groundbreaking and revolutionary British albums to have emerged onto the music scene. The music on this album is truelly revolutionary - it is an agit-prop recording par-excellence which integrates elements of jazz, funk, rock, dub and classical music in the most primordial, intense, touching and vibrant of ways. The key tracks are 'Thief Of Fire', 'The Boys From Brazil' and 'Time We Are' which are full-bodied and aggressive slabs of dissonant funk, epileptic tribalism and vocals as ethereal as Buckley's and as ferocious as Beefheart's.
The sound on 'Y' remains as relevant a soundtrack for the human race in the year 2011 as it did on its release in 1979.
