▐█ RELEASE NOTES: ▐█▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ Seattle, circa 1980, didn't boast a scene comparable to the '90s █▌
▐█ grunge explosion of Nirvana and Soundgarden, or even the █▌
▐█ mid-'80s scene fueled by the Fastbacks and the Young Fresh █▌
▐█ Fellows, but there was a thriving music scene nevertheless. The █▌
▐█ Beakers were part of that scene -- if not all of that scene -- █▌
▐█ and though they only played together for a year (1980) their █▌
▐█ influence is still felt today, which helps explain why they're █▌
▐█ being anthologized 24 years later with Four Steps Toward a █▌
▐█ Cultural Revolution. How many other bands who lived for all of █▌
▐█ 12 months can claim that? The Beakers -- singer/guitarist Mark █▌
▐█ H. Smith, drummer George Romansic, bassist Frankie Sundsten, and █▌
▐█ saxophonist Jim Anderson -- seemed destined to footnote status █▌
▐█ in rock history (heck, as of this writing, they don't even have █▌
▐█ an allmusic.com entry), with a discography consisting of a 45 █▌
▐█ and a handful of regional compilation contributions, and an █▌
▐█ opening touring slot with British post-punk legends Gang of █▌
▐█ Four. But such a history would sell them short, and with Four █▌
▐█ Steps... the Beakers' brief, but important, legacy is secured. █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ By all indications, the Beakers arrived fully formed (given █▌
▐█ their short lifespan, they couldn't afford not to have), mixing █▌
▐█ fractured art rock, funk, and acid jazz freak-outs in a hardcore █▌
▐█ stew. It's a recipe appropriated on an almost-daily basis by █▌
▐█ NYC-hipsters like the Liars and the Rapture, but in 1980, it █▌
▐█ must have been something of a revelation. What to make of a tune █▌
▐█ like "Red Towel", with its opening of spazzy horns, phat rhythm █▌
▐█ section, and ironic (?) Sprechstimme lyrics like "We're getting █▌
▐█ a great tan!"? On the musical flow chart of the era, the Beakers █▌
▐█ land somewhere between the nervy art rock of early Talking Heads █▌
▐█ and the broadly-defined hardcore aesthetic of the Minutemen. █▌
▐█ (Chronologically, they're a great fit as well, arriving three █▌
▐█ years after Talking Heads: 77 and three years before the █▌
▐█ Minutemen's What Makes a Man Start Fires?) Too, lead singer █▌
▐█ Smith (not to be confused with Fall frontman Mark E. Smith) █▌
▐█ sounds a helluva lot like both David Byrne -- equally on-edge █▌
▐█ and mumbly on tunes like "Bones" (also, for what it's worth, the █▌
▐█ Beakers' funniest song, as Smith morphs into a doctor with a █▌
▐█ God, or at least regal, complex: "I can fix him / I am a king!") █▌
▐█ -- and Minutemen frontman D. Boon in his phrasing ("The process █▌
▐█ is the thing!" he shouts on "What's Important?") and his song █▌
▐█ titles: the title track, "Three Important Domestic Inventions", █▌
▐█ "Thinking Postmodern". █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ The band is/was more than just lyrics; in drummer Romansic and █▌
▐█ bassist Sundsten, they boasted the tightest rhythm section in █▌
▐█ punk this side of, um, the Minutemen. In a band determined to █▌
▐█ freak out at every possible moment, Romansic lays down the █▌
▐█ necessary rock solid foundation on every track, and Sundsten █▌
▐█ coaxes danceworthy, funky lines out of his boomstick on "Third █▌
▐█ in B" and "Dinosaurus Mambo". It's from the bass, more than any █▌
▐█ other part of the band, that one can draw an almost direct line █▌
▐█ from the Beakers to the Liars or Rapture. █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ The fourth and final element of the band, and the part that earn █▌
▐█ the Beakers their jazzbo/freak-out stripes, is Jim Anderson's █▌
▐█ saxophone. Personally, I find it to be the band's weakest (or at █▌
▐█ least most annoying) link: Anderson is a musical graffiti █▌
▐█ tagger, running roughshod through the songs, scuzzying them up. █▌
▐█ But it's precisely those things that help the band attain their █▌
▐█ freak-out heights; without Anderson, I'm not sure this anthology █▌
▐█ ever sees the light of day now in 2004. That said, I'd be less █▌
▐█ critical of the saxophone skronk if Anderson didn't do the exact █▌
▐█ same thing on Every. Single. Song. As a Frank Zappa fan, I know █▌
▐█ a thing or two about horn-led musical chaos, but I'm still only █▌
▐█ tolerant of it in low doses, and Four Steps... sometimes exceeds █▌
▐█ my daily intake of such a racket. █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ As alive and electrifying as the band was -- part of me wishes I █▌
▐█ was 24 in 1980 (instead of, um, zero) to experience the first █▌
▐█ flush of indie rock in a world free of the internet, where █▌
▐█ digging to find a gem of a band was de rigeur -- Four Steps █▌
▐█ Toward a Cultural Revolution proves the band was more about █▌
▐█ ideas than songs. Listening to the album, one gets the feeling █▌
▐█ that one given song's lyrics could be paired with any other █▌
▐█ song's tune, to no appreciable loss. But the Beakers were more █▌
▐█ about DIY, expanding the idea of hardcore (again, much like the █▌
▐█ Minutemen), and letting their freak flag fly. I don't know how █▌
▐█ much you accomplished in 1980 (I, for one, was busy being born), █▌
▐█ but based on the above, the Beakers certainly had a productive █▌
▐█ year. █▌
