There was no way to hear non-chart music before you bought it back in 1980, so I purchased this album purely on the strength of the rave review in the NME. (It also ended up at number 5 in their top 100 Albums of the year). Their praise was not misplaced; it was one of the best music purchases I ever made.
32 years later and 10 years since I replaced my worn out vinyl copy with a CD from Amazon, it remains in my Top 10 albums of all time. Considering that I have more than 1,500 in my collection this should speak for itself. It is just a pity that this is no longer available at a reasonable price for others to experience the same joy it has given me over the years.
I have always loved Can, so got this. I thought it was going to be a little slight and too poppy, but hearing this taught me, again, never to underestimate a genius.
Movies is dance music, in a way far removed from the avant gaurde girations if Tago Mago or Ege Bysamai. But this is no pop album. All the numbers have lots of little eletronic abstractions thrown like confetti on a glue board. Surprises pop up everywhere, and are parts of layers of sound.
In Can, Czukay always kept his bass playing slight, by choice: Can was, after all, an oasis of restraint in a world of 70s art rock excess. On Movies, though, he streches out, with fabulous art disco playing; lots of little pops, runs and fills. Still, it reminds tight and taunt and fits this music perfectly.
All this makes this a very enjoyable and a very subtanative dance record: progressive dance to the hilt. Absolutely a must buy.
