Canadian jazzcore agitators Nomeansno were already legendary when they embarked on their first European tour in 1996. When they got into the studio to record the inaugural instalment of the In the Fishtank series, they laid down some older songs, a new one called »You’re Not One,« and a cover of The Residents’ »Would We Be Alive?,« launching the tradition of using the series to pay tribute to influential bands. With its bare-bones production, this record elegantly captures the group’s frenetic live energy.
