Description
Disco, Leftfield, No Wave, Post-Punk … Liquid Liquid ‘s Optimo (1983) is a seminal post-punk/no-wave 12-inch EP on 99 Records that defines early 80s NYC dance-funk with marimba, heavy basslines, and polyrhythmic percussion. “Cavern” is famously sampled in “White Lines,” while “Optimo” features a signature two-note bassline and cowbell-heavy, manic rhythm.
