Title: The Pop Group - (1979) - We Are Time
Added: Apr 1, 2010
Author: rasalinga
Duration: 6:30
Description:
Artist: The Pop GroupAlbum: YRelease Date: 1979Label: WPAbrasive, but interesting, the Pop Group's debut is perhaps the most succinct summation of their angry and defiant approach to rock & roll. Although at times resembling the discordant funk of fellow post-punk radicals Gang of Four, the Pop Group leave rhythm behind almost as quickly as they find it, and the result is a clattering din of sound resembling an aural collage. The longish, guitar-driven track "We Are Time" is the strongest cut, establishing a solid groove that won't let go.

Oct 19, 2010 - This is the version from the album Y. You are probably thinking of the other version from the album We Are Time. Y is a year earlier.

Nov 9, 2010 - Yes I agree, you can tell at that time Dennis Bovell's brilliant work. I've always said is a reggae/punk tune.

Dec 23, 2010 - I think Y was the label and this album was called We Are Time, a collection of live tracks and demos released after their official debut. I used to have it on cassette in the '80s, taped from the vinyl. I have the studio vinyl album with We Are Time. Different version.

Mar 14, 2011 - @LaxATivvz, Pop Group and Shriekback in the UK were on an independent label called 'Y Records' that had a big Y on the vinyl label. Warner Brothers was their American distributor.

Mar 15, 2011 - @modifiedcontent @LaxATiwz You're both right. This is the version from the'Y' album (released 1979 on Jake Riviera's Radar Records in the UK), while another version of the song did indeed appear on a compilation called 'We Are Time', released by the 'Y Records' imprint of Rough Trade in 1980.

Dec 24, 2011 - I adore TPG & I adore this song along with "she is beyond good & evil" & "Snowgirl". This particular song is my favorite, i just love to crank this one all the way up & lose myself in the glorious splendor that is TPG.
