RIP Roland the drummer.
rip steve albini
THIS ONES FOR YOU STEVIE BOY
my great grandmother simply *adored* this band and used it as part of her *transcendental meditation* routine
I'll bet that T.M. led to an eye opening B.M.
@@matthewsamboy4377 every fucking a.m.
Is exactly what my great grandchildren will be saying about my wife in about 30 years.
I'm a time traveler from the future letting you know your great grandmother is waaay cooler than you. carry on.
I find that extremely intriguing
This takes me back to better times. Times of a mix of rapeman, sonic youth, shockabilly and of course psychic TV / throbbing gristle and Coil. But no band since have used harmonics like these guys ... CABLES soaked with KEROSENE forever !!!
is that how they get that whirring sound? also how do they make it sound so metallic? at times guess almost synth like at times, been trying to replicate the sound for awhile but damn it doesn't even come close to the power grinder esque sounds of steve albini.
@@plasticpots2604 albini used two metal picks bound together, and had some distortion pedal as well as the famous harmonic percolator. he used a single coil guitar as well I believe. all that doesn't even begin to capture the sound, however!
@@plasticpots2604 cold fizzy distortion like a ds-1 in the “wrong” settings and it almost like he used a detune effect to get that chorus without the lfo movement sound. Combined with the metal picks and general shrill guitar that should be a start.
Those were 'my' bands also at the time (and many others of course)
@@ModernDevotion holy fuck someone finally mentions the modulation sound
RIP Albini
The fact that Big Black managed to make noise rock sound this good is what surprised me. Heard Atomizer a while back and fell in love with them immediately. L Dopa fix me alright.
I still remember walking into wax Trax records in Denver one fine fall day in 1986 and hearing “Keosene” blasting away on their stereo. Instantly hooked. Still a favorite all these years later. (I was lucky in that they got a hold of some bootleg 7” copies of these sessions a couple of years later, after BB had split. Still have that one as well.)
Steve ALBINI
Just that sound
never been duplicated
This needs to played 24/7 on all media channels for at least a year, so we can get sane and awake again.
oh I meditate to Big Black
and Shellac EVERYDAY
it's good for the soul
This is killer. Big Black are at their best on this recording.
Atomizer was the second record I bought, followed by "Zen Arcade" of Hüsker Dü. First record was "Camouflage Heart" by Cindytalk.
I call that a good education.
There is nothing out there today, that could create that kind of impact onto the young generation (so they suck).
Ever heard of Lightning Bolt? Or IDLES?
Also, there is music that makes as deep of an impression as this. Just because there isn’t contemporary music that’s as intense doesn’t mean you can’t like/find old music.
Also, we don’t suck. Don’t become the idiot generation that looks down on the younger generation for stupid reasons
Who owns the key? I do, that's right, I do!
Probably the best thing this band ever recorded, and both of their albums are classics.
Close but no cigar, man. Sound of Impact is the fucking thing. I mean, its version of Cables is basically an Apocalypse Now.
Waddya mean both..they released a whole string of EPs & a few 7in's
@@Cassius3745yeah, but only two full LP’s. Hopefully this guy got around to all of it, but there’s really no arguing that the LP’s are both their best official releases.
Solid drummer!
LOL
@@michaelseery5588 I'll add another LOL to that one!
LOL ..yes, Roland is fire!
Always on time.

that bass sounds grrrrr eat

29 years ago and it still kicks ass!
First hear BB on a compilation. It sounded so different from the hardcore and punk going on. Got all the records, including the 7" and bootlegs. I got to see them once in Chicago. Amazing. Saw Rapeman in Washington DC and Shellac 3 times. I met Steve Albini when he was recording a live Digits record. He wasn't anything like I expected, I asked him about his amp and he told me exactly what he was using (Marshal head with a Fender Bass amp for the low end, because you can play it as loud as you want and it won't break up).
Thanks for uploading this. Remember hearing on the radio when it was broadcast. Peel was essential listening for me during the 80s as a snotty young punkster....should have taped this off the radio. First time I heard Big Black then they split before I could see them. Most bands seem pretty tame compared to Big Black.

Never heard this before! Amazing!
Relevant ...Terminators xxxxx
I always loved that picture.
Newman Generator is such a gnarly Fucking killer song
Best Peel session ever
This is god damn awesome...
Heeelll yeah! this is awesome. thank you for posting.
Excellent cheers for posting.
Whoever posted this is a saint and no music geek is complete without ALL OF THE PEEL SESSIONS OF BANDS THEY ENJOY. Also, with Bowie, Mark E. Smith, Prince, and John Peel gone, keep an eye out for the oncoming Apocalypse...
aculturepocalypse if you will!
you were right...
Those doomsday preppers must be happy now in the middle of a Corona Epidemic .
@@Man_Ray78 That could be something Albini will mumble halfway through one of these songs will total contempt in his voice.
This photo is fucking cool! It reminds me of Francis Bacon's paintings!
Never heard newman generator before i love it
THIS DEVICE WILL MAKE ME FAMOUS
@@Safetysweet THIS DEVICE WILL MAEK ME FLY
All hail the mighty algorithm!
Thank you for bringing this back to life for me.
I remember their tour of OZ in the mid eighties an amazing band and loud .
I discovered ! It’s good and I like very much !
Yess..! ♡♡♡
Magic !!
Wow, this is good.
amazing stuff-'newman generator)'s like a cross between chrome and the fall
Thank you. In my dream world Albini will collorborate with Tom Morello and Andy C and make a stonking punk DNB record with Liz Frazer on vocals. If anyone can sort that out?
Yeah ill sort it..
Holy Grail of music
Wow!
I'm 54 years old and why am I barely hearing this
Newman Generator was that like hidden track that legit nobody even fucking knew about back in 89. Shit shredded then. Shit still shreds Today. Albini is god
I got a headache like a pillow
Damn man… 61 😔🙏
Does anyone know the title of the Big Black song John Peel played in the early 90s; the cho
Dead Billy lives
Cool
Good morning. SF/
Lovely stuff! Is this available on CD or vinyl anywhere?
This makes Pig Pile sound like shit hahaha sounds soooo good!
But nothing beats Sound of Impact
HARD TO TOP! ENJOY
Suena mortal, la roland y el bajo sobretodo
It's Dangalang Time!
Fuckin Good !!!
Альбини лучший!
6:23, how good is that? 🤘
Can u find this on vinyl?
nice profile pic :) #orfn4ever

Dude this is the shit 😀
why is the mixing on this so much better than on the studio albums?
I wondered that same thing. I think JP let each band select the optimal mix to their preference, vs. the albums where a producer's ego determines it.
That's a consideration, except I believe Albini himself recorded the original albums. In the case of Dead Billy he has stated many times that he couldn't get the sounds he wanted on that first EP because he recorded it in his small apartment where he had neighbors and couldn't turn in up as loud as he wanted to.
FIND SOME OLD B.B 12INCH EP'S... THAT'D BE COOL...
Didn't Ian Burgess record most of the BB stuff? also I am pretty sure this Peel sessions is the better of the two drum machines he used.
The CD releases of Big Black's stuff is notoriously shitty. I think they've cleaned it up now but there's still a lot of garbage rips online that are low quality, tinny and weak. The vinyl releases by contrast sound amazing. Half convinced this is because Steve is a purist who hates CD's (see the liner notes for the rich man's 8 track tape). If you're just talking about the production then the early stuff does sound like shit yeah. The Roland TR 606 does not sound great anymore and the guitar tone's much meeker than on their later albums.
Quintessential. Quint..., not quaint, not quite yet.
Is that seriously a drummer because it sounds like a drum machine. If this is a drummer this drummer is a fucking BEAST.
no, it's a drum machine. That's part of why they're so intense. IT. NEVER STOPS.
Roland
L Dopa is brilliant though i prefer the studio version.
Deactivate your social media right now. And get out there and fight together to end the epic greed fest.
TIME FOR SOME SHELLAC AFTER THIS... WHAT? SHELLAC... WHO THEY IS????? QUAINT LITTLE INDIES WHO RAVE ABOUT THIS AND ARE DUMBSTRUCK BY... THAT OTHER BAND HE NAMED TO SHOCK... ONE WONDERS WHAT AN ALBINI INSPIRED GRAPHIC NOVEL WOULD CONSIST OF... OR JUST GENERIC NOVEL... I WOULD WAIT WITH BAITED BREATH FOR THAT INSTALMENT...
Wreck Some Shit
None of them look like Al Jourgeson. I wonder who was in this band
Steve Albini for starters ;)
Albini was influenced by French 77 band Metal Urbain. Not the only punk band who used a drum machine...but are Worth checking out.
@@DaveAnchovies and zz top and gang of four
Who's Al Jourgeson?
