Duty Now for the Future (Reissue)

VINYL FORMAT. On 140 gram vinyl; contains the original track listing. Duty Now for the Future, Devo's second album, captures the group in the midst of a significant stylistic shift. On their first album, for all their herky-jerky rhythms and electronic accents, Devo were pretty much a standard guitars/bass/drums rock band, albeit one with more than their share of eccentricities. Duty Now for the Future found them bringing the keyboards that were used as punctuation on their earlier material into the forefront, adding a new level of irony to their "little minds through big technology" philosophy.
