Press Reviews Redundancy may be kin to the arrangements of two-chord punk rock, but San Diego's Physics has ousted that sacred cow by exploring the dynamics of a single chord in succession. On their, debut CD Physics I (flapping Jet Records), the band ebbs and flows, massaging your darkest secrets with its contemplative elation and restrained drone in up to 25- minute helpings at a time. The album captures and Collects various live recordings between '94 and '96 and features members of Crash Worship, Chune, Powerdresser, Heavy Vegetable, Thingy, Staccato Reeds, Rice, and Optiganally Yours. Chief contributor John Goff (Who you may have caught playing bagpipes with S.D. luminaries Three Mile Not and Pitchfork) likes to refer to Physics as 'Evil New Age" for its undertones of Glenn Branca's No Wave Guitar Symphony (which, at different points, featured members of Helmet and Sonic Youth) and aims to make his guitar sound more like a violin. Moreover, to avoid a straight imitation of the Branca method, Physics takes it a step beyond the "No New York' polished guitar orchestration by constructing a din of biorhythmic electronic sounds along the lines of Plastikman or From Within. Since Physics 1, Goff has enlisted the stencilwork of Shepard Fairy (notorious for his "Andre The Giant Has A Posse" sticker mid similar urban propaganda) for a silk-screened Physics poster, and has ambitions to sum up the theory of Physics on a batch of shirts that read "Diversity Through Monotony." The band's sophomore longplayer-foreseen as Physics2 (Gravity Records)-is a full-blown conceptual rig and their first proper studio album. Piercing songs like "Positive Heterodyne" and "Negative Heterodyne" are untraditionally singular pieces that surf a sonic rainbow spectrum while, despite their titles, movements like "Proper" and "Neutralogue act more as neurotic guides than as cerebral regiments. And, for your convenience, a vellum-coated tone almanac is included to map the of steadily digestible dissonance. --Chris Woo
