40-plus years since its original release, the pop-punk-new wave inventions of Anthony Moore’s “Flying Doesn’t Help” are freshly remastered, blasting the sparkling, angular sounds into today with perfect vitality. After spending the early years of the 1970s making experimental music first as a solo artist, then with Slapp Happy and Henry Cow, 1976’s “OUT” sessions had reinvigorated Anthony’s youthful love of the naive pop melodies of pop radio, the undeniable excitement of songs. While “OUT” ultimately went unreleased at the time, the iconoclasm clouding the late 70s air was addictive and transformative for Anthony. Building upon the axis of pop and experimental impulses that distinguished “OUT”, and informed further by the raw sensibilities exploding everywhere, “Flying Doesn’t Help” blasts out of the speakers with its own unique blend of sophistication and aggression, Anthony’s keyboard flashes between arpeggiantions and outright stabs among the noise of slicing guitars, funk basslines, and the reverbed blare of the drumkit.
