This is Negativland’s second album, originally released in 1981. These are more early suburban noise/music/text/loop pieces from the formative years of the 4 (or 5) Floptops. Re-mastered for CD and sounding better than ever! Like their first album, "Points" is an ever-changing excursion through swimming poll and barbecue land. They are working from within; subversives trying to shape a new suburban consciousness that is a mutation of the status quo. Formal structure is general lacking, except for a few moments like the superb "The Answer Is...", a frolicking faux-pas that sounds like it was played on Mom’s Genie organ in the living room. Another high point is an excerpt from a presentation at the Los Angeles County Fair, during which the many splendors of Contra Costa County (Negativland’s home turf) are declared. There’s also another chunk from an out door event during which what sounds like a looped and layered rock band blasts in the background while more layers of crowd sounds mingle and converge around the noises of meat sizzling on a barbecue. Whew! The album is one surprise after another. I recommend that you jump on this merry-go-round and close your eyes.
