I just can't imagine such a better album in the post-punk outbreak of the '70's. It's just THAT great.

Their jerky jazz-funk aptitude is implemented only to be giddily disclaimed by just about every crackpot method one could come up with to eliminate cohesion and generally fuck with a mix -- they run the gamut of sketchy studio trickery and idealistic disarray, from abrupt volume discrepancies to wails that redefine demented desperation to rando-sounds and dissonant squeals aplenty to dead air and a-cappella to sprawling piano-slop to so-often refusing to remain locked in a pattern for more than ten seconds. The resulting fickle folly enraptures with its frolicsome unpredictability while that aforementioned aptitude provides validity and a groovy groundwork -- not to say this pitiless mischief doesn't grate over time. It certainly does. But coming from a buncha talented misfits that slyly call themselves The Pop Group, it's the kind of grate you're grateful for.

Cold, emotionally intense, catchy, musically cluttered, whatever you want to call it, this is a captivating album. This is without question an acquired taste because of how distinct yet cracky the voice is, along with the interesting instrumentation. Without a doubt a post-punk essential album, but I'm almost certain few people would be able to listen to it fully, because it's pretty damn difficult to do so.

Some white boys from England get together and decide to write some music, the result? Some of the most bizarre, intense post-punk music around. With rythms from Africa and other world music, The Pop Group combine the up and coming sounds of post-punk music with that of free jazz. The lyrics are political in nature, angry and questioning, delivered furiously over vibrant instrumentation. With Y, The Pop Group literally pushed the boundaries of pop music by seeing how much weirdness they could infuse with their African grooves. All in all it's a beautiful, exciting album and one of my all time favorites.

Absolutely intense. The violent and rabid emotion put into this record is humongous. An essential for the Post Punk field.
