The importance of DNA's fragmented art-damaged guitar rock in late-70s New York has been (appropriately) well documented, and founders Arto Lindsay and Ikue Mori remain musically active and relevant. The 2008 reissue DNA on DNA enthusiastically collects the band's output, including many previously unreleased (and generally very strong) songs from live cassettes. It's nice having everything in one place on vinyl, including all of the unearthed material. The gatefold package with lots of concert flyers (including a show in Indiana with the Dancing Cigarettes) also reflects the care paid to this anthology. The only unfortunate compromise on this reissue is the mastering job—everything sounds a bit overly present and weak in mid-range.
