Sought-after no wave repressed! ImpLOG was the solo project of Don Christensen (previously of The Contortions with James Chance) and perfectly captures the raw experimental energy of early 80's NYC. Listen with an open mind as industrial motorik rhythms fuse with heavy machinery, only to take an unexpected turn into an upbeat sax solo on "Holland Tunnel Drive," while "On B'Way" delivers some of the most monotone delivery ever for the well-known show tune, all the while exposing the dark and seedy downtown vibe. Both tracks are treated to a fresh remaster and are housed in an exact replica sleeve of the original. Thanks to Dark Entries once again for making a proper reissue of this in-demand gem.
