Agreed. "[I]t's obvious that the Voidoids have something more than the usual punk engine-gunnings going for them: in the dense mesh of guitars are, unmistakably, quotes from and elaborations on Miles Davis lines off albums like
Agharta and
On the Corner; if you listen and look closely, you can tell that this incredible stylistic melding is emanating mainly from the guitarist over stage left, a quiet, balding guy in sunglasses named Robert Quine. When the Voidoids break up, he will make an album of instrumental improvisations with guitarist friend Jody Harris (ex-of the Contortions) and a rhythm machine." -- Lester Bangs
I vividly remember a period of time in the '80s playing little else but
Blank Generation,
Destiny Street ("Time" is my favorite Hell/Voidoids track) and
Escape by Bob Quine/Jody Harris.
