First LP of jazz-funk experimental new wave by the Sheffied band formed out of the ashes of the first Clock DVA, released by Go! Discs in 1983. Never re-issued on either LP or CD.
condition (record/cover): NM / NM
One of the few bands capable of effectively combining the spontaneity and musicianship of jazz with the urgency and rough-edged sound of rock, the Box were a five-piece spin-off from Sheffield industrial funksters Clock DVA. Comparisons to Captain Beefheart, Gang of Four, the Minutemen and Ornette Coleman are all appropriate; execution is first-rate (especially by ex-Clocks Paul Widger on guitar and saxophonist Charlie Collins), the material frantic.
