No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: James Chance of the Contortions.

I don’t think Anya [Phillips] talked [Brian] Eno into doing No New York. I think that was totally his idea…But that was a very casual session. I never even talked to him about it until the actual session…It was just a document. He didn’t even use any baffles or anything. I tried to fix some vocals but there was no way to do anything, not even any overdubs, because it was all too bled together. It sounds good, but it was not like ‘the great Eno production.’ It was like anti-production.

— James Chance, from No Wave Post-Punk. Underground. New York. 1976-1980.
