New Wave

Gang of Four ist eine britische Rockband, die 1977 in Leeds gegr�ndet wurde und zu den wichtigsten Vertretern des Post-Punk gez�hlt wird. Sie wurde vor allem durch einen charakteristischen, treibenden, dem Funk entlehnten Rhythmus und politische Songtexte bekannt.
Gang of Four spielten eine minimalistische Variante von Punkrock, mit Elementen von Funk und Dub-Reggae. Die Texte behandelten soziale und politische Missst�nde in der Gesellschaft. Bei Alben wie „Songs of the Free“ und „Hard“ wurde ihr Stil auch von Disco-Elementen beeinflusst.
Mit ihrer zweiten Single At Home He’s a Tourist kamen sie in die britischen Singlecharts. Somit h�tten sie in der Charts-Fernsehsendung Top of the Pops auftreten k�nnen, doch weigerten sie sich das Wort rubbers („Gummis“) aus dem Text zu entfernen. Damit verzichteten sie mehr oder minder bewusst auf die Chance, ein gr��eres Publikum zu erreichen und kamen nie wieder in die Single-Charts.
Am 1. Februar 2020 gaben Gang of Four via Twitter den Tod von Andy Gill bekannt. Die Band ging daraufhin auseinander.

Although lacking the immediate raw energy and undeniably seminal nature of Entertainment!, Songs of the Free stands tall on its own merits, as well as when compared with GOF's previous two main albums. Some have claimed that this album was the beginning of the end for the Gang, with its inclusion of female backing vocals and slightly more dance able rhythms; however, these new elements are brought into the fold in the typically uncompromising and bold manner that this group is known and loved for. The new elements hardly overwhelm the sound, but rather augment the music's chilly, isolated feel. This is arguably the darkest, most isolated sounding album GOF ever created, quite possibly surpassing even Solid Gold in this manner. The lyrics consist of the mix of defiantly angry social commentary, sardonic humour, and genuine pathos for which GOF are known, and they remain as sharp and memorable as ever. The pathos element of the songs is to be stressed here more than ever, as more songs take on a more personal and introverted nature; watching as human beings wander through a wilderness of materialism, exploitation and subjugation, militarism, fascism, intrigues between superpower nations, etc.. These revelatory stories are told in a wryly empathetic way. The usual assortment of groaning, stuttering guitars, clashing, powerful drums and deep bass grooves are to be found and will not disappoint.
Songs of the Free is an excellent closing chapter to one of the greatest trilogies of albums in music, and is an absolute must have for any fan of GOF. Not only is it one of the Gang's best albums, it is also one of the best albums of the 1980s.
