Worlds In Collision

Description

With Pere Ubu on hiatus since 1982s excellent Song Of The Bailing Man, David Thomas had recorded a` much-praised solo album and the band had now signed to a major label. In a period of rampant world commercialism, what would happen next? Another crucial era for the band unraveled, Pere Ubus journey charted new undulating territory and so began a three-album escapade that retooled our understanding of what pop music is. Solid as the band can be, its also likely to dissolve songs from the bottom up. For all Pere Ubus uncertainty, the band isnt arbitrary; its music has the off-the-wall unity of a Marx Brothers routine, said Jon Pareles of The New York Times. In 1991, Worlds In Collision became the most atmospheric, carefully sculpted recording in the bands 13-album catalog. (Tom Moon, Spin).
