Young Marble Giants: Alison Statton (vocals); Stuart Moxham (guitar, organ); Philip Moxham (bass). Producers: Young Marble Giants, Dave Anderson. Recorded between 1978 & 1979. Includes liner notes by Stuart Moxham. The 1994 CD reissue of COLOSSAL YOUTH includes everything released by Young Marble Giants during the band's brief existence--the COLOSSAL YOUTH LP (1980), the TEST CARD EP, three songs from the "Final Day" single and one song, "Ode To Booker T.," from the various-artists compilation IS THE WAR OVER. British trio Young Marble Giants were the Raymond Carver of the post-punk era. While the band's lone album, 1980's COLOSSAL YOUTH, incorporated the influences of punk, dub, and funk as per the spirit of the times, these sounds were filtered through a homespun, minimalist sensibility. Recorded dry, with no reverb or other effects, the scratchy guitar, bobbing bass, and thrift-store organ are transmuted into a striking modernist tableaux, with Alison Statton's appropriately affectless voice floating above. COLOSSAL YOUTH prefigured post-rock by some 15 years, but this generous repackaging appending EP and single cuts as well as early recordings and live material is a testament to their lasting influence.
