No New York
A compilation of four no wave bands, produced by Brian Eno.
DNA, 1978
Contortions, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Mars and DNA each have four tracks. Kurt Munkacsi and Vishek Woszcyk engineered, Roddy Hui assisted, and Eno and Steven Keister designed the cover; the original LP's lyric sheet was printed inside the sleeve so that the sleeve had to be torn to read it. DNA's tracks, tracks 13 to 16, are "Egomaniac's Kiss" (2:11), "Lionel" (2:07), "Not Moving" (2:40) and "Size" (2:13), all credited to Crutchfield and Lindsay. Lindsay told FACT that making it was a very emotional experience and that he recalls walking home from the studio in tears. AllMusic's Todd Kristel gave 4.5 stars, calling it the definitive document of New York no wave, and Pitchfork's Brandon Stosuy gave 8.3. Blender ranked it 65th on its 2007 list of 100 greatest indie-rock albums. Lilith reissued it in 2005.
