THE MONKS - Black Monk Time, Light In The Attic

To suggest that The Monks were an influential band would qualify as a gross understatement: their work in the mid-sixties set out a blueprint for punk, garage rock and even the motorik grooves of krautrock. Evidence of this is strewn all over their 1965 debut Black Monk Time. From their absurd, free association lyrics, fuzzy dissonance and beat-heavy rhythms its plain from the very beginnings of opener 'Monk Time' that this band made a clean break from '60s conventions. The drumming is raw, fearsome and more closely connected to the brutal stomps of rhythm & blues than the more conventional rock music of the day, which combined with the surreal yelps of 'Higgle-Dy Piggle-Dy' renders a very strange intermingling of childlike aggression and discordant grit. While Black Monk TIme is by no means a tuneless dirge, the guitar is used more as a noise machine, prefiguring the sort of sounds the Velvet Underground would later wrench from the instrument, and the wild organ solos only barely hold together the structure of the songs. Re-released with six bonus tracks, Black Monk TIme is an album everyone should hear, and this latest edition gives you an ideal opportunity. Genuinely seminal, hugely influential material that needs to be heard to be believed - a huge recommendation!

What does FLAC mean?

FLAC is a lossless audio format designed for superior sound quality.

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio.

Who is it for?

You are a bit of a music connoisseur, you deem 320Kbps MP3s to be inferior, you want DRM free, lossless downloads and you want them now! Sound familiar? Then FLAC is for you.
