The brainchild of Anton Fier (ex-Pere Ubu), the music of the supergroup The Golden Palominos defies categorisation. Fusing elements of rock, funk and avant-garde, it is one of the foremost bands on the international progressive rock scene. This compilation features highlights from the four albums Fier's group cut for New York-based Celluloid label during the Eighties.As one would expect from a group with a flexible and ever-changing line-up, this compilation features contributions from a glittering array of musical celebrities and leading figures from New York's thriving progressive music scene. These include Michael Stipe (REM), John Lydon (Ex-Sex Pistols & P.I.L.), Jack Bruce (Ex-Cream), Bill Laswell, Arto Lindsay and John Zorn.Expertly compiled and annotated by Wire journalist Simon Hopkins, it contains over 70 minutes of some of the finest and most rewarding progressive music from the Eighties.
