Although James Chance's Contortions had already appeared on Brian Eno's legendary No New York compilation in 1978, Buy was the group's first full-length LP. An angular and brilliant mix of free jazz and post-punk funk, this seminal 1979 album is the quintessential No Wave release and the spark for much of what has come out of the Downtown New York music scene over the past thirty years.
