Description
Bristol new wave quartetThe Numbersformed in 1977 with vocalist/rhythm guitaristNick McAuley, bassistWayne Kingston, drummerLee Gardener, and futureMassive AttackguitaristAngelo Bruschini. Heavily influenced byBowie‘sBerlintrilogy, early recordings surfaced on compilations issued by the local Heartbeat label in 1979, namely the power-punk-pop “Alternative Suicide” on4 Alternativesand the funked-up “Cross Slide” onAvon Calling. This excellent compilation pairs those songs with unreleased demos, giving you the complete picture of a band far ahead of their time, with Bruschini already on dazzling form.
