Essential Logic are a queer and somewhat misleading offshoot project courtesy of saxophonist Lora Logic (X-Ray Spex). With frantic grooves bouncing about, between rather tame head bobbers, Logic's Meredith Monk-style squeals and yelps, though ocassionally jarring, are refreshingly enthusiastic. This isn't your typical punk record, but it's impossible to deny a connection. With it's subtle aggression and abstract licks, Beat Rhythm News is reminiscent of a Gang Of Four/Bow Wow Wow crossed with early Swell Maps, and a pretencious dancy "art star" sort of thing, though I don't think the pretention maintains any momentum here. I'm not entirely sure that what I'm saying is valid or builds any interest at all, so perhaps you should grab it and figure it out for yourself. Fav song, Albert.
Beat it!

I'm pretty sure you're talking shit because you can't dance.
yeah right
No problems then. You ought to drop the expert act when all you're able to do is bark about the most acclaimed albums but when a band with less attachment comes along the best you can do is project the worst qualities of your favorite music on a piece that is without any real doubt superior.
It doesn't make a big difference since you're a chained bitch and your site is defunct now. Still noise must proliferate.
hahaha ok.... i suppose i ought to then...
noise proliferation! and all that!
