As I could be accused of partisanship, I declare immediately my factiousness towards The Feelies of Bill Million and Glenn Mercer, one of the most important and underestimated bands of the 1980s.

It happened partly because their LPs (only four, between 1980 and 1991) have been among the first ones that I have purchased and partly because they've always championed the "do it by yourself" cause.

Cultured without being highbrow, elaborate without being self indulgent, confused without being verbose, The Feelies had just a"few happy" fans back in the 1980s, but the majority of these fans soon formed a band: furthermore, the unpredictable (but effective) way they mixed new-wave and rock'n'roll, minimalists geometries and electric jolts stands the test of time.

The accidental partnership between Million and Mercer (they both were timewaster students in the New Jersey) and various musicians led the band to look like a melting pot of people since their very first album.

On Crazy Rhytms (1980) the rhythm section is in charge of Anton Fier (drums) and Keith DeNunzio (bass guitar), and their mood contributes to the martial dazed folk-rock hypnosis of the album.
