[quote author=“Echo_Frau”]Just a little note :
I just talked with a skinhead/oi! friend (no no, not a right wing guy but a pure apolitical skinhead nerd) which was is in this scene since the ‘77 period.
Seems that the Final Sound not only had songs like this, with synths etc, a lot of guitar songs of them exist and in fact, i like them less thas this one (cause of the synth i am sure hehe) but what the guy said to me and i totally agree is that this “genetics” song is strictly made in the good conventions of skinhead music, simply as it should be, if we’re following the musicologic thesis.
It is not very different from the French bands of that period, really, also for the french cold wave scene, better you guys, don’t know which one of your so rare and costy records involves guys that pretty great assholes.
So as somebody told before, and i deeply agree, the right question here is more the importance of the instrumentation to let a song or an other pretending to be classified into “minimal” or “synth” or “cold wave” than the question of the political mind of the band’s protagonists.
Thanks for the info…. Now i know that it exists more songs with them. Even if it sounds like this one is the only good one..Or do they have more songs in this kind of style? Im interested if the case is soo….For me the music has always came in the first hand. And very often i have problems to hear exactly what bands are singing. And that helps me a lot hahaha.
