The
Astronauts first two ep's.
The eponymous debut is their standard sound,post-punk with a folk
flavour. Featuring studio versions of the sounds heard on the live
compilation “Back to sing for Free again soon”. The classic 'All
night Party” being the stand out track here.
“Prankstersin revolt” is a different beast altogether. A minimal folk-synth
classic to rival Patrik Fitzgeralds' brilliant “Gifts andTelegrams” (which i'll post next because its sooooo good!).
I
don't know whether the group were being deliberately obtuse here, but
to turn from the expected sound is something to be applauded. Like it
says in the second track on this fine EP, “Moderation is Boring”,
especially when applied to music; though not when applied to
narcotics and other stimulants. In fact for those secret state
sanctioned/supplied population control weapons, TOTAL abstinence is
the ideal goal. Being strung out in a dope cloud stupor is
definitely fucking boring; like one of those anarcho-punk festivals.
A real danger to society are drugged up and drunk white rasta's
falling over in a ditch in the countryside. They Talked the Talk, but
couldn't even walk, never-mind 'Walk the walk'!*
*This
doesn't apply to the Astronauts by the way.
