Point Of Views

5UU'S

 

David Kerman formed 5uu's in 1984, inspired by the Rock In Opposition (R.I.O.) movement.

"Point Of Views" contains 5uu's first LP "Bel Marduk & Tiamat" (1984), their 7" single "Bar Code" (1985) and their second LP "Elements" (1988), together with a song from the "ReR Quarterly Vol. 3, #3" compilation.

It's the first time that these albums are available in the CD format. You can follow the whole career and progress of this version of the band.

5uu's music has reminiscences to King Crimson, Samla Mammas Manna, Thinking Plague and the music of Chris Cutler, Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.

This is an essential time document and a must have for those who like R.I.O. inspired music, but also for those who already own the original LPs.
Also listen to: Dave Kerman / 5uu's fifth album "Regarding Purgatories"
