Simply one of the finest bands to grace the alternative scene, Gang of Four are a post punk quartet who play a stripped down, intelligent brand of punk with influences from funk, dub and modern minimalism, topped off with biting socio-political commentary. Insanely infuential (really, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are a poor man's Gang of Four - something even Flea admitted) and with songwriting chops that rival the greats from any era, I'd call their first two albums ("Entertainment!", "Solid Gold") essential to any music catalog. And having seen them live just a week ago, I'd say, somehow they still manage to rock your balls off 32 years. Here's a good compilation of their best material - Raw, urgent and mandatory listening for anyone reading this.
Rerecorded material of the best Go4 tunes. Enjoy!
To hell with poverty
