Food For Thought

this 150 gram 12" lp was re-cut and re-issued (on colored vinyl) with a free mp3 download in october 2009. 'food for thought' is gray matter's first album, originally released on r&b records in 1985 and later re-issued on dischord. ask veterans of dischord records, and they'll tell you that 1985 was their summer of love. it was the 'revolution summer,' when strands of dc's punk scene cohered into the forward-thinking, inward-looking sound - epitomized by embrace, rites of spring, gray matter and others - by which the label made its bones. a pedant might say it was the moment when hardcore became post-hardcore.
