{"product_id":"alas-the-madonna-does-not-function","title":"Alas The Madonna Does Not Function","description":"\u003cp\u003e1988 saw the release of several timeless and remarkable EPs from Nurse With Wound, one of those classics is \u003ci\u003eAlas the Madonna Does Not Function\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMadonna\u003c\/i\u003e in some respect was a turning point for NWW. It's a record that whilst unmistakably retaining that ineffable NWW character brought rhythmic and almost 'musical' elements into play. Madonna could be seen along with the \u003ci\u003eSoresucker\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCooloorta Moon\u003c\/i\u003e EPs as the bridge between the old and the new, the natural precursors to \u003ci\u003eThunder Perfect Mind\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRock 'n Roll Station\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome 34 years later \u003ci\u003eMadonna\u003c\/i\u003e still sounds fresh and unique, a true one off, proving NWW to be one of the few genuinely enduring and uncompromising artists of their time. Added to this re-issue is the fan favourite \"I Am The Poison\". With its plodding cyclical bass, minimalist sound and distorted vocal lines it could be argued that this is a forgotten, yet divergent, post punk classic. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dirter Promotions","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50403650994507,"sku":"2003681","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/nww_ALAS_THE_MADONNA_PIC_FOR_WEB_e66d9522_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726562440","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/alas-the-madonna-does-not-function","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
