Visionary debut album from Big Audio Dynamite, led by The Clash's Mick Jones! Hit Singles Include "Medicine Show," "E=MC²" and "The Bottom Line" In 1985 Joe Strummer failed at stripping The Clash down and taking it back in time with Cut the Crap while former band mate Mick Jones leaped forward with the visionary, genre-crossing Big Audio Dynamite. BAD’s debut This is Big Audio Dynamite is a multi-layered and sample-driven whirlwind of musical influences, including house and hip-hop, rap and reggae, electro-pop and more, with movie dialog and sound effects thrown in just for fun! While the music has to be called out as experimental for its day, Jones’ gift for rhythm, melody and catchy hooks makes it an eminently listenable and utterly cool affair that on each listen will have you humming and singing to yourself for days. The influence this album and band would have on rock and rap in the following decade can’t be understated. It’s impossible to listen to 80s and 90s classics like The Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique or Beck’s Odelay without hearing echoes of the beats and samples from This Is Big Audio Dynamite all the way back in 1985.
