Television: Adventure

180 gram vinyl. Television were part of the late-"'70s punk nucleus that put New York"'s CBGB club on the map. Driven by Tom Verlaine"'s raw-nerve songwriting and both his and Richard Lloyd"'s guitar playing -- dual strands of slashing hooks and cathartic riffs -- their music is spare yet structurally complex, artistic yet unpretentious. Among rock"'s true innovators, Television put a new face on punk and influenced everything from New Wave to jam-rock. Adventure is the band"'s second album and the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut, Marquee Moon. Four of the songs, ""Foxhole"", ""Ain"'t That Nothing"", ""Careful"" and ""The Dream"'s Dream"" were older compositions from the band"'s live set.
