It'll amaze new listeners and give old ones some hard-to-find tracks. Buy it.\" PITCHFORK \/\/ \"There's no denying that In the Beginning There Was Rhythm is a great gateway into this expansive, fruitful, trailblazing era.\" ALL MUSIC \/\/ First released in 2001, this album is fully remastered, remade and presented once more in its entirety and features A Certain Ratio, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, The Human League, The Pop Group, Gang of Four, The Slits, 23 Skidoo and This Heat. \/\/ As Muzik magazine noted on its initial release, 'In The Beginning' is a choice selection from the fertile post-punk period when bands thought nothing of combining politics and philosophy with imported dance rhythms and edgy industrial angst. \/\/ The bands featured come (mostly) from the then bleak post-industrial North of England – Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds as well as Bristol and London, and yet all show a fascination with black American rhythms and an experimentation in sound that was completely unique at the time. \/\/ The title of the album comes from The Slits track of the same name. \/\/ This double vinyl edition with download code comes complete with two bespoke inner bags containing extensive sleevenotes and original photography.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 06\/07\/2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 06\/07\/2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Soul Jazz Records Presents","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50312613888293,"sku":"R4V02I-SCII-43","price":67.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/8142\/3397\/files\/soul-jazz-records-presents-in-the-beginning-there-was-rhythm-digital-download-card_ap9Ib.jpg?v=1742520524","url":"https:\/\/mediamall.com\/products\/soul-jazz-records-presents-in-the-beginning-there-was-rhythm-digital-download-card","provider":"mediamall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
