Music is a Better Noise!
Essential Logic - Fanfare in the Garden
This double CD set on the Kill Rock Stars label gathers together the Essential Logic album Beat Rhythm News (Waddle Ya Play?), Lora Logic's solo lp Pedigree Charm, several singles and some recordings from the late 90s, but not everything as some reviewers suggest, e.g., the Wake Up 12" is missing.
The set is a great introduction to one of post-punk's brightest lights. Lora Logic created out of whole cloth a jittery, off-kilter and perpetually surprising musical carnival that bridged the gap between the Swell Maps and Etron Fou Leloublan.
A large part of the charm is due to Logic's voice, a chirpy and cheerful warble that was a perfect match for her absurdist social commentary lyrics.
Music is a better noise indeed.
