Product Description

The third and final Art Bears record proper is a scathing, brutal and disturbingly honest venture into the horrors of contemporary inhumanity and political digression. Here ART BEARS forage even more boldly into aspects of using the recording studio as a compositional instrument : A tape of a lawnmower is slowed down several steps to convincingly create the sounds of machine-gun fire and bombs. A Geiger counter is emulated by radically E.Q-.ing drum sticks played on a tile flooring in the studio. No punches are pulled, and the band goes all-out on this, their final recording. The playing is aggressive and hefty, and the sound immaculate, intense and, at times, downright scary.

5 out of 5 stars This is capitalism.......2005-07-31

_The World as it is Today_ is a virtuoso performance by the Art Bears from 1980. In it, the sometimes beautiful, sometimes hideous or frightening songcraft delineates perfectly the condition of the world under capitalism. In its eleven songs, the trio brings forth many of the injustices of the capitalist system in songs which possess, in their words, a Brechtian beauty of imagery (occasionally employing an almost dialectical diction) and, in their instrumentation, music which remains radically avant-garde to this day. For example, the band used the tapping of a drumstick on a tile floor to mimic the sound of a geiger counter, or slowed down a recording of a lawnmower to approximate the sound of an explosion. Next to this innovation is a true dedication to complexity of rhythm, unusual chord progressions and frequent atonality to highlight the anguish of the poetry. All in all, the group embodies the following paraphrase of the great Brecht himself: Art should not be a mirror held up to reality, but rather a hammer with which we mold and fashion it.
