DEVO ’Smooth Noodle Maps’ Deluxe 2LP/2CD Sets
Long out of print and never reissued, this year FUTURISMO
invite you to snake through the chaos with a Deluxe limited edition of DEVO’s
1990 album - Smooth Noodle Maps!
An underrated gem, Smooth Noodle Maps might oddly be the
most anticipated of all DEVO’s reissues. It’s title being a direct reference to
the brain was perhaps an irony to fans left underwhelmed at the time, yet over
the years this album has become warmly regarded as a hardcore fan favourite.
Whether you’re a true believer or have just come to your senses, Smooth Noodle
Maps will show you the way!
Inspired by the concept of chaos theory, a theme inherent in
de-evolution itself, Smooth Noodle Maps paralleled DEVO's own dissolution of
order, yet the albums tight conceptual elements (the art featured animations of
chaos motion developed by a real lab) and arthouse pop make this a record hard
not to love.
Though it may have foreshadowed a hiatus for DEVO, Smooth
Noodle Maps is a joyous enigma, a record demonstrating a stronghold of
captivating tunes such as ‘Stuck In A Loop’ and “A Change Is Gonna Cum’,
undoubtably hits in another time and space, whilst simultaneously playing off
the arch humour and observation found on ’Jimmy’ and ‘Post Post-Modern Man’,
all dusted with an intelligence expected of the great D-E-V-O!
This year, FUTURISMO give every truly discerning DEVO fan
the out of print release they’ve been been craving, the follow up to last years
Total Devo Deluxe - a limited pressing of Smooth Noodle Maps Deluxe. Each
gatefold LP set includes 2x180g limited edition coloured vinyl in the choice of
‘Brain Drain’, ‘Postmodern Chaos’ or ‘Donut Glaze’ as well as a 2xCD gatefold
digipak version.
Included alongside the original album are remixes, demos and
unheard tracks unearthed from the archives. The records come in a die-cut
gatefold sleeve that enables an interchangeable cover, contains a huge double
sided poster with new liner notes by Gerald V. Casale, the LP version also
contains a sheet of cut-out finger spinners.
Attention super fans! Ultra-limited bundles come with a
squishy Smooth Noodle Brain!
DEVO’s Smooth Noodle Maps Deluxe is an essential addition to
the collection of any spud stuck in a loop. This March it’s time to get
smooth...only while stocks last!
