Savage Republic Savage Republic - Tragic Figures (2-CD)

(Real Gone Music) 22 tracks

Welcome to the world's first (and only) post-punk-industrial-trance-psychedelic-surf album! The fact that we needed so many adjectives to title Tragic Figures shows how unique this album is.

Sure, there are echoes of other artists, like Krautrock legends Can, post-punkers Public Image Limited (Savage Republic opened for PiL on their 1982 West Coast dates), avant-garde guitarists guitarists Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham, junk metal industrialists Einstürzende Neubauten, and Bay Area sludgecore nihilists Flipper - but the bottom line is that this record has no equal.
