Review title: Pere Ubu at its most improvisatory
Product review: This is the original line-up of Pere Ubu at its most improvisatory, nearly every song clearly built up spontaneously in the studio around some core musical idea. David Thomas riffing on words ("Dishes! dishes! dishes! All for love of you...."), Maimone's killer bass lines, Herman and Ravenstine working it out in the best free-jazz tradition. Although it isn't jazz at all. And then all the mounting but masterfully controlled tension is released with "Jehovah's Kingdom Come", Thomas' most beautiful pop song until the Cloudland album a decade later and the album's only truly "composed" piece. New Picnic Time falls almost unnoticed between more rock and blues-oriented masterworks like Modern Dance and Dub Housing, on the one hand, and the more self-consciously arty Art of Walking and Song of the Bailing Man, on the other. But it stands as Pere Ubu's singularly greatest work in this first period of their career. An incredible masterpiece.
