The Pop Group - We Are Time (Live Glastonbury 1979)

“Every song on We Are Time up to and triumphantly including the title track was a delicious shock to the nervous system…Nobody turned tricks like The Pop Group” WIRE 'We Are Time' is taken from a live recording of a Pop Group Glastonbury set in 1979. The eponymous conclusion to a collection of early productions, and one of their most infamous onslaughts, it was originally released on vinyl in 1980, and recently remastered from original tapes and reissued by Freaks R Us in 2014. Of the early studio and live recordings that comprise 'We Are Time', frontman Mark Stewart says “The Pop Group was mutating so fast right from the start that it was crucial to document those first experiments with this compilation. 'We Are Time' is really ‘the’ teenage Pop Group album. It’s full of defiance and the material demonstrates the band's staunch independence and our really early DIY ethic before the studio became another instrument.” Guitarist Gareth Sager explains that the band was “trying in an inexplicably naive manner to combine Patti Smith’s Rimbaud ramblings, James Brown, the Stooges, Roxy Music, T. Rex and classical aleatoric music. You can hear the results of this on tracks ‘Genius Or Lunatic’, ‘Colour Blind’, ‘Trap’, ‘Sense Of Purpose’, ‘Kiss The Book’ and ‘We Are Time.” He goes on to say “soon after this the band were bringing in other influences, Ornette Coleman, King Tubby, Funkadelic, Debussy, Jacques Brel, Fela Kuti, Steve Reich and then you get ‘Thief Of Fire’.” 'No waiting / No running / No searching behind / I will take you time / I will break you mine' The Pop Group formed in Bristol in 1977 out of a sense of disenchantment with the increasing conservatism of punk. Drawing on an eclectic range of influences from free jazz, conscious funk, heavyweight dub to avant-garde experimentalism, alongside contemporaries like Public Image Limited, This Heat and Throbbing Gristle, they were at the forefront of a musical period marked out by its ground-breaking innovation. Their original missives, which Mark Stewart describes as “an index of possibilities”, still explode with an incandescent spirit and energy, possibilities expanded upon by recent live tours in Japan, America, Australia and the UK and the band's first studio album in 35 years, 'Citizen Zombie'.
