Scientific Americans is one more nearly forgotten band of the post-punk era. Hailed from Massachusetts, they were developed musically next to the no-wave situation, influenced as well by bands as Suicide, Devo... After the first punkish recordings,''Beyond Rational Thought"(7'', 1979), their sound went more electronic, minimal pop and dub, without loosing its initial primitive, homemade, underground heart. Their "Load And Go!" cassette was released in 1983 on the legendary ROIR label. Other works of theirs, the one-sided flexi "Beyond Fiscal Distress" (Tekno Tunes,1980), a split flexi-disc with Graig Anderton (a release of Op Magazine), another cassette called "Some Dumb F**ks" (circa 1981)... Lots of unreleased and never performed live material has been also created before or after the end of the band by Sean Elias and Graig O'Donnell, who (along with Jim Whittemore) were the long-run members of Scientific Americans.

Δεν τους ήξερα, αλλά μου έφτιαξαν το απόγευμα. Πολύ καλό και σηκωνει αρκετά ακούσματα.
(με μικρά, πολύ μικρά γράμματα: Και ταυτόχρονα ενα πολύ καλό δωρο για κάποιον που έκλεισε πρόσφατα 50 χρόνια ζωής και που γουστάρει καινούργιους ήχους)
Πολυχρονος, Σωτήρη. Ειθε η μουσικη (και οχι μονο) να σε κρατα παντα νεο.
Do you have some Marshmallow Overcoat recordings?
Check out our pages for the "Inner Groove" album by the americans Marshmallow Overcoat.
There is also an english 80s band by the same name.
Hi! Glad you posted this, but I'm curious as to whether or not we might be able to get the entire Load And Go album uploaded at some point. I used to have this one, but it's long since gone and I'd really love to be able to recover it.
