NULL & VOID - Possibilities (Discoverable Thoughts)

"Recorded between 1981 and 1982, the 3rd and final LP by Fullerton, CAs brilliant but short-lived NULL AND VOID was never properly released in its time. After being rejected by head-scratching label execs in the U.S. and having met with letters of rejection along the lines of _¢‚Ǩ_ìTheres a lot going on here_¢‚Ǩ¬¶ Im not sure what it is_¢‚Ǩ¬¶ I think its too much, etc._¢‚Ǩ¬ù, the record was, sadly, shelved for the next 30 years.

\r\nFrom Mutant Sounds:\r\n\r\nLike Half Machine Lip Moves On Some Faraway Beach, this final genius stroke from these increasingly warped Californian post punk merchants (following my posts of their Happiness And Contempt and Montage Morte EPs, the latter of which shares a few tracks with this album) ratchets up the stakes significantly; their angle of approach here weaving Chrome-plated and dystopian shaded tangents through a series of emotionally loaded and pop savvy oblique advances that are absolutely breathtaking in their collective impact. This album was shopped around all over back in the day and deemed _¢‚Ǩ_ìtoo weird_¢‚Ǩ¬ù by one and all. Feh! Silly children_¢‚Ǩ¬¶they missed the boat on a stone cold classic_¢‚Ǩ¬¶\r\n\r\nThis, at the very least, is a product of an outstandingly talented and overlooked _¢‚Ǩ_ìsynth wave_¢‚Ǩ¬ù band taking their music into new and increasingly warped directions. An avant pop _¢‚Ǩ_ìpost punk experimental acid music_¢‚Ǩ¬ù masterwork, a truly endless piece of music, and the grand vision of NULL AND VOIDs William Shifflette." -Bunkerpop.
