YOKO ONO-"MOVE ON FAST" (1972)

Yoko predating Punk!

Yoko, like many greats, has a killer double album from 1972 called "Approximately Infinite Universe". Everyone pegged her as a banshee making noise rock. Here, she seemed determined to personify the title by trying a raft of styles; haunting piano ballads, funky vamps, lilting pop, and tough rockers. Backed by Elephant's Memory, she sprints through this song with fists flailing. Its energy, shouting stride, and shreiking sax foretell X-Ray Spex six years early.

The "A.I.U." CD is her "Blonde On Blonde" or "White Album". Made in '72, it foreshadows the Tom Tom Club, Tori Amos, Cibo Matto, Bikini Kill, and more. Well worth it!

I'm really glad you did this montage to this great song- good job. Yeah, it really rips your face off, and the lyrics are hilarious ("truckin' thru infinity", the way she bellows "roll a bit of...GRASS!"... genius. Definately a punk trapped in an avant garde hippy's body- she took a hell of a lot of unwarrented abuse from permanently bummed out beatles fans who just don't get it, still.

Very well stated, thank you! I hope to make more in the near future.

She was ahead of everything. This could be anything from punk to Grunge! OR would not be out of place even today!! She had to live in the Lennon shadow....Wish she had made it first a little THEN got together with him. Would have been accepted more!

This is great stuff, man. I love Yoko's screaming stuff too, but this is nice. I like it when she sings regular (Even though I find a ton of emotion in her screeching. Just so out-of-the-box, you know man?)

Thanks for posting!

This is fantastic and it's sad some people will never get past the name yoko Ono to stop and actually give her music a chance

[afreakinninja]

Holy fuck this is awesome. I must have heard this before at some point in my life and forgotten about it, because this sounds like pure magic. Amazing song, I hope I can find the album somewhere
