Entertainment!
Entertainment! is the 1979 debut album by English post-punk band Gang of Four. This album was released on EMI in the U.K. and on Warner Bros. in the U.S..
The music on the first album shows clearly the influence of punk, yet also incorporates funk and less-obvious influences of reggae and dub, similar to other bands at the time such as Public Image Ltd., Pere Ubu, and Au Pairs. As with these other influential post-punk bands, the bass is mixed much more prominently than it typically is in rock or punk.
