The Clash

Leave a comment


Unlike many other punk bands from the 1970s, the Clash took raw anger as a starting point, not an end. They were rebels with a cause — many causes, in fact, from anti-Thatcherism to racial unity to the Sandinistas. Their music was hard-charging and roots-based but also future-visionary; their experiments with funk, reggae, and rap never took them far from a three-minute pop song. Hyped as “the only band that matters,” the Clash fell apart just as they broke through to an American audience. By then they had delivered an arsenal of unforgettable rock songs while showing that punk was not just a flash-in-the-pan explosion.

The Clash were very much dependent on the band chemistry between its four most longstanding members: vocalist Joe Strummer, guitarist Mick Jones, bassist Paul Simonon, and drummer Topper Headon. Primary songwriter Strummer, the son of a British diplomat, grew up in a boarding school. He quit school while still in his teens and in 1974 formed the 101ers, a pub-rock band named either for the address of the building where they squatted or the number of the torture room in the George Orwell novel 1984.

The pop route to mysticism

Leave a comment


Don’t be misled by the “easy listening” tag on this tape. The pop drums may roll on with their undemanding rhythms, but the orchestra is mostly rich, and some vocals are exceptional.

Inspirational Moments II features stars like Yanni and Vanessa Mae and hit groups like Enigma. The theme is mystical experience, or at least a pop version of it, and 18 tracks explore it in diverse styles.

And so there’s Latin and Sanskrit, languages of the gods. Of course there are other languages too, and some instrumental pieces.
