Warthur
The first Big Black release sees the group not really a group yet - more of an industrial solo bedroom project by Steve Albini. The production shortcomings arising from a very young man recording on a 4-track in a domestic setting using technology which was pretty far from cutting edge for 1982 are inevitable, and it's perhaps testimony to Albini's later career as an engineer and producer that it sounds as good as it does. There's nothing stellar here, but it's a serviceable bit of drum machine industrial music which doesn't yet have the bite and the fury that Big Black would pick up from the hardcore scene.
