“…essential no wave/drug-funk/skree-jazz” – Alternative Press

“The Maestro of ‘80’s punk jazz” – CMJ

Soul Exorcism Redux is a re-release of an exhilarating night in Rotterdam from 1980. If you shut your eyes you might actually feel his breath, his sweat come flying at you from the stage or more likely from the floor when he’s dancing alone to the “Twitch”. James Chance is a dangerous and irrepressible man. He makes you think of one of those wild horses that man was not meant to tame. Now with three Bonus tracks from a 4-Track session recorded in 1987. Beautiful 6 Panel digipak.

“the [Rotterdam] performance’s soul and essence is an expression of New York City in the late seventies and early eighties. The night club scene of that time revolved around music with an intensity that would send one of the 1990s 'club kids' wailing for his pacifier.” from album liner notes by James Chance

In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, no artist represented the heart and soul of the No Wave/New Wave movement as much as James Chance. Chance and the Contortions and (alter-ego) James White and the Blacks were media stars all over the U.S.A. and Europe, heralding a new movement of Jazz/Punk/Funk. He was a prime time creator (co-founder of Teenage Jesus & the Jerks w/ Lydia Lunch), bandleader, catalyst and motivating force. His early Brian Eno-produced cuts on No New York (Antilles 1978), followed by two full vinyl albums on Ze Records, launched a career as radiant as a shooting star across the musical firmament.

Press

“Soul Exorcism proves that jazz, funk, experimental, and new wave make quite an intoxicating mix when perfected. The whole album is inspired from beginning to end.” – AMG/Greg Prato

James Chance "took elements from James Brown, The Velvet Underground and Roxy Music to create his own bizarre underground funk/lounge act.” – CMJ/James Lien

“JC’s music was the boil lancing itself; the sickness was the cure.” – Melody Maker UK/Simon Reynolds

“Imagine James Brown using Iggy Pop as a megaphone with half of Brown’s band along with Ornette Coleman circa his free jazz period backing him” – Daily Trojan (USC)
“Downtown music’s forgotten hero at his finest. Contort yourself!” – Paper Magazine
