No Wave is described in Wikipedia as “a short-lived avant-garde music and art scene that emerged in the late 1970s in downtown New York City. Reacting against punk rock's recycling of rock and roll clichés, no wave musicians instead experimented with noise, dissonance and atonality in addition to a variety of non-rock genres, including free jazz and funk, while often reflecting an abrasive, confrontational and nihilistic worldview.” So impressed was Brian Eno when he happened to be in town and attended a live gig featuring some of these bands, that he decided it'd be a good idea to document their work in the studio, with himself as curator and producer. And so it came to be that Contortions, Teenage Jesus and The Jerks, Mars and DNA - all bands from New York - came to have 4 tracks featured on what has come to be regarded as the definitive statement on the short-lived music and art scene. Eno was, almost literally, omnipresent in '78, and is clearly in it for all the right reasons.
