Our Take

MARS Rehearsal Tapes And Alt-Takes NYC 1976-1978 is a fascinating glimpse into the avant-garde world of New York City's music scene in the late 70s. This album captures the raw, experimental energy of MARS as they honed their sound in dingy rehearsal spaces and underground clubs.

The tracks on this album are a mix of rehearsal recordings and alternate takes, giving listeners a unique insight into the band's creative process. From the haunting vocals of vocalist Sumner Crane to the clattering percussion and dissonant guitar work, each song is a sonic adventure that transports you to a gritty, pre-gentrified New York.

One standout track is "11,000 Volts," a frenetic burst of energy that showcases MARS at their most intense. The swirling synths and propulsive drumming create a sense of urgency that is impossible to ignore. Another highlight is "Reflection," a brooding, atmospheric piece that highlights the band's ability to create mood and tension with just a few carefully chosen notes.

Overall, MARS Rehearsal Tapes And Alt-Takes NYC 1976-1978 is a must-listen for fans of experimental music and anyone interested in the history of New York City's underground music scene. This album is a time capsule of a bygone era, filled with creativity, passion, and a healthy dose of weirdness. So grab your skinny jeans and oversized glasses, and dive into this quirky, captivating collection of songs. You won't be disappointed.
