"Emerging out of Amsterdam's vibrant squat scene in 1979,
The Ex
-- a name chosen for the ease and speed with which it could be spray-painted onto a wall -- have for four decades been an entirely self-sustaining musical entity, charting a course through the global underground with a spirit of freedom and radical exploration.
Blueprints For A Blackout
, The Ex's fifth album and first double LP, combines caustic studio experimentations and loose songs from their gripping live-set at the time. The band consisted of singer
G.W. Sok
, guitarist
Terrie Ex
, two new recruits on bass,
Luc and Yoke
, and drummer
Sabien Witteman
, along with a plethora of guests including
Mekons
'
Jon Langford
and long-serving sound engineer
Dolf Planteijdt
, among others. Originally released in 1984 on the band's own Pig Brother Productions,
Blueprints
veers from jagged punk explosions to sharply focused improvisations featuring field recordings that would become a hallmark of their subsequent forays into free jazz and experimental music. The overall effect is not unlike the menace of a slowly building winter storm. Tracks like 'Rabble With A Cause,' 'U.S. Hole' and 'Scrub That Scum' stand out as exemplars of this phase of The Ex. Comparisons can be made to contemporaries
Einstürzende Neubauten
,
NoMeansNo
, and
Svätsox
as well as later Crass label bands. This first-time vinyl reissue comes with 24-page booklet."
