    What the press has said about: THINKING PLAGUE A HISTORY OF MADNESS CUNEIFORM 2003 lineup: Mike Johnson (guitars & such), Deborah Perry (singing), Dave Willey (bass guitar & accordions), David Shamrock (drums & percussion), Mark Harris (saxes, clarinet, flute), Matt Mitchell (piano, harmonium, synths) - Guests: Kent McLagan (acoustic bass), Jean Harrison (fiddle), Ron Miles (trumpet), David Kerman (drums and percussion), Leslie Jordan (voice), Mark McCoin (samples and various exotica) “It has been 20 years since Rock In Opposition ceased to exist as a movement in any official sense… Nevertheless, at its best this music can be stimulating and vital. It’s only RIO, but I like it. Carrying the torch for these avant Progressive refuseniks are Thinking Plague, part of a stateside Cow-inspired contingent including 5uu’s and Motor Totemist Guild. These groups have…produced some extraordinary work… Their music eschews the salon woodwinds and cellos of the European groups for a more traditional electric palette, and its driving, whirlwind climaxes show a marked influence of King Crimson and Yes, names to make their RIO granddaddies run screaming from the room. …this new album finds the group’s main writer Mike Johnson in [an] apocalyptic mood, layering the pale vocals of Deborah Perry into a huge choir of doom, her exquisitely twisted harmonies spinning tales of war, despair and redemption as the music becomes audaciously, perhaps absurdly, complex. … Thinking Plague are exciting and ridiculous in equal measure, as good Prog rock should be.” - Keith Moliné, Wire, Issue 239, January 2004 “Thinking Plague formed in 1983…after guitarist and main composer Mike Johnson answered a notice posted by Bob Drake for a guitarist into “Henry Cow, Yes, etc.” …these initial influences are still prominent in the group’s sound - along with King Crimson, Stravinsky, Ligeti, Art Bears, and Univers Zero.

    BAD 58 ALCHEMY 1 STEINER: ... Die Musik besiegt den Tod, aber dann besiegt das Mysterium tremendum die Musik. Orpheus stirbt, von den Mänaden zerrissen. Dann kommt etwas, das für uns heute abend wichtig ist: Der Körper blutet aus, aber, das ist eine archaische Überlieferung, der Kopf singt weiter. Aus dem Mund des toten Orpheus strömt Musik. Das zweite Thema ist Marsyas, dieser grausame, furchtbare Mythos vom Kampf zwischen ihm und Apollon, in dem Marsyas geschändet wird. Auf Tizians berühmtem Gemälde finden wir alle Motive unseres heutigen Gesprächs. Es ist das größte seiner Bilder, und auch das grausamste. Worum ging es in dem Kampf? In dem Logos Apollons heißt es: Musik ist das Ornament der Sprache. Und Marsyas sagt: Der Wind ist Musik, der Vogel singt Musik, das Meeresrauschen ist Musik. Die Sprache ist ein später Gast und ein falscher. Dann das Sirenen-Motiv. Der Gesang tötet, er hält ganz mysteriös das Versprechen. Was sagen die Sirenen? Wir können dir sagen, was in der Welt war, was in der Welt ist und was in ihr sein wird. Die Verheißung des Alten Testa- ments. Die Verheißung des Baums im Paradies, des Baums der Wissenschaft, des Wissens. Hör unserem Gesang zu. Odysseus überlebt, er segelt weiter. Das war der letzte Moment, wo der Mensch in der Musik die Urkraft der Schöpfung hören konnte. Aber die Warnung war da: Musik ist übermenschlich, aber auch unmenschlich. Schopenhauer sagt: Auch wenn die Welt nicht wäre, könnte die Musik bestehen. Ich bin sicher, der Satz stimmt. Zuerst sind wir Gäste der Musik. Vielleicht kommt die Sprache erst viel später.

Partly it’s the abrupt rhythms, non-triadic chords, and multi-dimensional counterpoint; partly it’s the vigorous live ensemble work (with little or no electronic processing), which puts the music right in the room with you; and partly it’s the stark absence of humor and lyricism.
