Some words on this issue: RICHARD HELL & the VOIDOIDS: “Blank Generation” (Philips – 6370.814) Rare original Dutch pressing that came out on Philips. As a member of Television & the Heartbreakers, Hell was one of the first men to appear on the US Punk and No Wave scene. He quit both groups before they could record and was into his late twenties when he stepped up to the microphone to record with his tequila-fuelled vocals this all time punk classic. As is the case with the Hell’s lyrics, there’s more to music than first meets the ear and his version of punk wasn't much like anyone else's. Though the vernacular deals in three-chord slang, the Voidoids could play fast and loud when they wanted to, but for the most part this group's formula was much more complicated than that, largely thanks to guitarists Robert Quine and Ivan Julian who bounced sharp, edgy patterns off each other that were more about psychological tension than brute force. Robert Quine’s was the mature one in the band at that time – he was 35 and as much influenced by Ornette Coleman as the Velvet Underground and this simmers through into his lends the guitar licks that would not be out of place on a on a Captain Beefheart album. That combined with Hell’s truly unique voice brimming with ideas and musical intelligence perfectly encapsulate the environment that spawned them resulting in The Blank Generation bottling up the smell and feel of the whole NY CBGB era, making it a thrilling and improbably poignant listening experience.
