VIEW: Sedition (CD, UK) PRESS RELEASE: "Sedition’ is an ultra-high quality live recording from the legendary Scientists presented in souvenir packaging (like a moleskin book) with liner notes by Thurston Moore, Jon Spencer, Warren Ellis and Henry Rollins. Recorded on May 11th 2006 at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London, the superior sound quality and amazing setlist make this album more of a ‘best of’ than simply a live record. Not to mention the packaging.... The Scientists were chosen by Mudhoney to play last year’s All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in the UK. ‘Burnout’ from ‘Sedition’ was included on the recent ATP compilation which was given out to all 6000 attendees of ATP and included on the December Plan B as a covermount. They are also playing the Dirty Three curated ATP on April 27th - 29th as well as London show on April 26th. The Scientists went through many incarnations in their 9 year history but are remembered mostly for the lineup that existed from 1981 to 1985. Kim Salmon, Tony Thewlis, Boris Sujdovic and Brett Rixon together had the peculiar chemistry that produced the classics, ‘Swampland’, ‘Happy Hour’, the ‘Blood Red River’ mini LP and ‘We had Love’. With a sound that was swampy, primal and modern-urban all at once - as much in the tradition of rock and roll and punk rock as it was a rejection of those things.The Scientists were about what it was like to be young and living in modern times in an Australian urban/suburban environment. You could put on a Scientists record from this period and not know it was 23 years old! .There has been no shortage of younger bands who have cited them over the years. Mudhoney, Nirvana et al, Jon Spencer, the Von Bondies, The White Stripes, The Drones and scores of others just keep coming along dropping their name." SONG CREDITS: 01.
