I am really digging this. It is considered free jazz.
"MANIC NO WAVE SAX FRENZY! James White tore up the city blueprints and charted his own map through the sonic sprawl of New York, perfecting a jittery, manic attack on sax and vocals and adopting the persona of a lounge singer in the waiting room of Hell. A maelstrom of chaotic transformations of funk, jazz (et al.) with equal parts James Brown and James White originals that rank among the most incendiary in his repertoire, this album is available outside of Japan for the first time and pressed on colored vinyl!! Due to its plethora of sublime rhythms and prismatic shimmy, a party atmosphere is in full effect on Melt Yourself Down. The band presents a master class of cutting-edge downtown New York City funk that evokes an endless evening riding NYC’s late-night slipstream. White’s avatar, the Godfather himself, James Brown, is paid respects with a pair of hot takes, including “Super Bad,” which kicks off the album. Later, during “Cold Sweat,” White grows increasingly agitated, injecting an element of chaos into the methodical groove while adding some of his own coitus-inspired lyrics. “Hell On Earth” brings home the bacon and fries it in the flames the band calls forth as they rub sax, guitar and bass together in a manner that can only be described as biblical. On this final cut—with his innate understanding that performance is ritual—the flaming demonics that White calls up are in full, infernal swing. Melt Yourself Down executes White’s prime directive—provoke pleasure, by any means necessary."

Yeah, I ordered it. I couldn't stop myself. Something about the fusion of free jazz with punk gets me all giddy.Well-timed! I restrained myself from ordering this three times in the middle of the night last night.

they are. it's funny cause I have all of them except for my favorite, Electric Version. hoping for a nice repress of that one
I was just looking at their discography. I'm missing Challengers, Together, and In the Morse Code. I'd buy Challengers if I see that available, but I don't think I've ever listened to the other 2!
If you're not familiar, check out James Chance & The Contortions, same guy. Their genre is usually referred to as No Wave. Eno recorded a comp after falling in love with the scene that is pretty great:

I am guessing it is out of print now but the copy of Electric Version (also my favorite) I have is pressed at RTI and cut by Kevin Gray and accordingly sounds stellar.

This repress uses the Kevin Gray cut too, not sure where it was pressed though. It's a little cheaper.I am guessing it is out of print now but the copy of Electric Version (also my favorite) I have is pressed at RTI and cut by Kevin Gray and accordingly sounds stellar.
Looks like there is copy still available on Discogs for $33 if you are interested…
