monte cazazza

...monte cazazza first come to prominence on th'underground scene when he hooked up with throbbin' gristle in around 1977'n produced some images 'purportin' to be th'execution o' gary gilmore, it was just cosey/gen/monte strapped in chairs lookin' like they were ready to be offed, it got shown on some square media'n a few t-shirt sales ensued so theres always a bit o' bread to be made hoodwinkin' th'gullibles...he'd been makin' a nuisance o' himself since th'early seventies with various 'art' shenanigans' n small press magazines'n then th'throbs allowed him some time to produce a couple o' singles in th'late 70 which're included on this compilation o' various gubbins from past exploits...some o' th'later tracks aint so cool bein' a bit on th'synthy pop side but no doubt he annoyed some cats with even that venture so who's to know, its all worth a listen or two...confrontational art terrorism in pop is commonplace nowadays, havin' reached saturation point some time back, bein' devalued to th'extent that it is easily assimilated to be part o' th'capitalistic way o' business life, possibly this will upset some liberals'n politically 'correct' phonies who will be uptight with this so maybe its even better than we could hope for...
