A: We Are Devo! Run so deep that it took decades for the music cognoscenti to come around and appreciate the record on it's own terms. Ranked the 252nd Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone and amid the 100 best efforts of the 1970s by Pitchfork, Devo's radical debut helped steer the new wave movement that followed. And as fate would have it, it is more relevant in the 21st century than at the time of it's release. Sourced from the original master tapes and housed in mini-LP-style packaging, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD presents the 1977 benchmark in reference sound on disc. The presence, clarity, and detail of this reissue render in three-dimensional fashion the textures, nuances, tones, and effects critical to the music. Though Brian Eno butted heads with the band during the recording process, the merits of his production emerge like never before. The sonic treatments that turn Devo's keyboards into the equivalent of futuristic machines; the metallic effects and pointed sharpness of the percussion; the crispness of the arrangements; the herky-jerk motion of the singing; the stickiness of the bizarre time signatures: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! #comes across like a pointillistic painting seen up-close. Numbered Hybrid Stereo SACDNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONLISTEN: https://youtu. #be/I3bF0N081TE
