Perhaps because of the cachet of having ex-Velvet Underground John Cale as its producer, this D.C. quartet's "So Afraid of the Russians" became a new-music hit in 1983. It can't be said that "So Afraid of the Russians", a recitative dig at right-wing paranoia, has aged poorly: It wasn't very interesting the first time around. Still, their craggy industrial-funk owes so much to Pere Ubu that it seems to make sense when singer Tom Lyon starts aping Pere Ubu singer David Thomas. [SOURCE: THE WASHINGTON POST]
