	Donald Campbell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Campbell was born in Horley, Surrey, as the son of Sir Malcolm Campbell.
		Campbell began speed record attempts using his father's old boat Bluebird K4, but after a 156 mph (250 km/h) crash destroyed the K4 in 1951 he developed a new boat.
		But his land record was short-lived, because rule changes meant that Craig Breedlove's Spirit of America soon set new records.

		Nevertheless, their albums between 1981 and 1987 have proven remarkably influential; they provided the sonic blueprint for the roaring punk-pop hybrid that crossed over into the mainstream in the early '90s.
		In 1981, they released their first single, "Statues," on the local label Reflex, which was quickly followed by their debut album, Land Speed Record [+], which was released on New Alliance Records.
		Zen Arcade [+] was a double album -- something that was completely unheard of in the underground -- that showed the band stretching out musically, writing sharper pop songs, as well as lengthy abrasive instrumentals.

	Husker Du Album Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Recorded after Metal Circus, Husker Du’s incredibly intense take on The Byrds’ classic-to-begin-win “Eight Miles High” is simply essential, arguably the greatest single thing they ever did and among the top handful of greatest cover songs of all-time.
		This is the album that set the indie community in an uproar, being as it was Husker Du’s major label debut (granted, such a practice is commonplace today but back then it was a big deal, believe me).
		On the album's first and best song, Mould states “these are your important years, you’d better make them last,” and this album was the culmination of five astonishingly productive years, during which time the band ensured that their years together would leave a lasting impression.

	Land Speed Record: Road to Flight - PopMatters Music Review
		In fact it has always been Land Speed Record that stood out as the only band capable of maintaining soul in such a bland and boring form of musical expression.
		Land Speed Record are caught somewhere between the new-wave cool a la Devo and punk brilliance.
		Land Speed Record has come a long way, perhaps Road to Flight will take them to the more prosperous spot on the punk rock hill they deserve.

		A dream brings Breedlove to Black Rock: to return the world land speed record from Britain to the United States and to be the first American to drive through the sound barrier.
		(Land speed rules dictate that for a record to be official, a car must make two runs within one hour, the average of the two being the record.)
		While his speed records won him the kudos of his racing brethren, his matinee-idol good looks assured him photo spreads in national magazines.

		Land Speed Record is Mike Chylinsky, who is joined on this 4-track EP by bassists Jeff McElroy, Brad Shenfeld and James Bennett, as well as multi-instrumentalist Andrew Cvar (who handles bass, keys, guitar and drone box on the track "monster truck").
		Their records are always presented in beautiful packaging, very limited press runs and each one has never failed to fill me with wonder at some of the most mysterious and compelling sounds I have ever heard.
		This album was recorded throughout 1989, and represents an extremely creative period for Robin Storey and company (none of the members are actually named on this release).

	TrouserPress.com :: Hüsker Dü
		The live Land Speed Record is basically a tour document from a year in which they covered a lot of land and took a lot of speed — a cheap recording that only hints at any juice the performance may have contained.
		Zen Arcade, an ambitious double-record concept album about the strange adventures of a kid leaving home, covers more ground than Greyhound and is successful a surprisingly high percentage of the time.
		With fine tracks strewn randomly throughout, the album's strongest side is its third (with the hypnotically swirling "It's Not Peculiar," the folky "No Reservations" and the late-'60sish "Tell You Why Tomorrow"); other notable cuts are "She Floated Away," a rocking sea chantey, "Standing in the Rain" and "Ice Cold Ice."

		The striking similarity between George Lucas' pod races and land speed racing is no coincidence.
		Lucas was one of an informal clique of land speed racing enthusiasts called the Salt Bears, which also included writers Bill Neely and Bob Ottum (who together co-wrote the screenplay for "Stroker Ace," starring Burt Reynolds), racing photographer Pete Biro and fellow director Lear Levin.
		He has a hole he'd like to fill in his collection of racing cars, in the land speed record category, and to have a supersonic car would be an added bonus.

	Husker Du - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		Metal Circus is also one of those rare albums where the album art perfectly captures the sound of the music, as Husker Du's sound on this EP can easily be described as hues of gray, white and silver.
		The album was recorded in a one-take fashion, allowing only for vocals and a few guitar lines to be overdubbed.
		The first half of the album tends to be more of their older "ultracore" style, with Bob Mould and Grant Hart both hollering out vocals like manic sideshow freaks.

	Alternative America Interview, 1983
		Recorded in Los Angeles last summer with Spot (Black Flag, Minutemen) at the controls, it sold out the initial pressing of 5000 within days.
		The album, onn the whole, is a lot more like we are live now than "Land Speed Record" is. We're moving away from that.
		Blake: What is it about noise and speed that seems to appeal to Husker Du, particularly with the all out attack of "Land Speed Record"...

		Breedlove's land speed record was recognized by the United States Auto Club, which had established a new class for wheeled jet-propelled land vehicles, and by the international motorcycle body, Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme, as a world record for 3-wheeled vehicles.

		The album is stitched-shizophrenic, pretentious post-rock that is both fragile and destructive and Swords surgically recreated the studio intricacies onstage.
		On Tuesday she only played strings on the opening song, also the album's opener "The Product of Harm," and the standout anthem, "Land Speed Record." Rietz new synth parts on "City Life" from "Entertainment..." have molded the song into an entirely new animal, sleepy and soothing.
		Swords employed both drum kits on "Land Speed Record" and the closer "Savage Republic" (both are album highlights, to be sure).

		The record tells the story of a young computer programmer whose world begins to resemble the cirtual mazes her creates, and who then flees his life and job and moves into an increasingly alienated interior mental landscape.
		The earlier metal thrash of Land Speed Record is gone, and the later overstylisation of the power-pop sound hasn't yet settled in.
		The album was written and rehearsed in a Minneapolis church basement, and drummer Hart late recalled that the songs, on practising and recording, changed from take to take, such was the exploratory nature of the sessions.

		But Greg should be world-famous for his work on this album - he's everywhere, holding down an album that never quite flies apart the way it would kind of like to.
		What it is, is a double LP recorded and mixed in one 85-hour burst of insanity.

		Let's just say that 24 or so years after its release it still deserves its title of a speed record.
		But for the year this came out it was stupendously stunning then and I'll still put it on once a year or so and revel in its full out blasting of some high quality music.
		As it is, this recording quality is quite nice compared to a number of other DIY punk live releases.

	Artist Histories
		Releasing a live album, Land Speed Record, and the studio-recorded Everything Falls Apart, the Huskers’ early work owes a large debt to earlier hardcore bands.
		While adding an extra dimension to the band’s albums through the contrasting styles of the two songwriters, the tension between the two would lead the band to split in 1987.
		Husker Du’s final album, the double-LP Warehouse: Songs and Stories, is a tug of war between the two songwriters, with each writer’s songs bearing a striking contrast in tone.

	Splendid E-zine: at a glance reviews - January 3, 2000
		In general, however, I liked the EP better, as the album meanders at times, and somewhere in the middle I lost interest.
		The math rock side of your brain will appreciate all that's noisy, calculated and erratic here, as the band's generous bestowal of ruptured chords and twisted vocal chants is devlishly pleasing.
		The poppier Chalk numbers are reminiscent of K Records' Satisfact, with punk underpinnings and enticingly robotic, slightly nerdy-sounding vocals.

		A non-album cover version of the Byrds' 'Eight Miles High' followed, and a 1985 album, New Day Rising, maintained the trio's reputation as a favourite of critics and college radio stations, with its irresistible quicksilver pop songs.
