The debut album by Pere Ubu, The Modern Dance is the realization of group leader David Thomas's (a.k.a. Crocus Behemoth) high-concept vision of a rock band whose sound was always just on the verge of falling apart. Avant garde and not terribly accessible, the album's noisy anarchy was a tonic for punks and intellectuals sick of the bloated, corporate sound that passed for commercial rock at the time. It became a major influence on the leading alternative bands of the following decade, including the Pixies and Husker Du.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51095296278815,"sku":"809236136022","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/b551d39e0a42723f8d1a66f0d8f282f7.jpg?v=1777777355","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/modern-dance-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
