Hugo Largo - Huge Large And Electric: Hugo Largo 1984-1991 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Two CDs. Forty years after their formation, no music sounds quite like Hugo Largo. Their hushed, majestic atmosphere-which veers toward ambient dream-pop but emerged from the noisy No Wave scene of 1980s New York-is the result of open-ended exploration and pure vision, an embrace of mystery and a refusal to compromise. Even the basic components of the band-two bassists (Tim Sommer and Adam Peacock), a violinist (Hahn Rowe), and a one-of-a-kind powerhouse vocalist (Mimi Goese)-set them apart from any peers or contemporaries. "The very best reason to form a band," Sommer reflects, "is because you're looking through your music collection and you can't find what you want to hear." With Huge, Large and Electric Hugo Largo 1984-1991, a new box set via Missing Piece Records-the run by Michael Krumper, who first released Hugo Largo's music in the 1980s-their entire catalog is finally back in print.
