It’s hard to pinpoint the beginning of no wave, the abrasive post-punk movement in late-1970s New York. But its legacy had a big bang. It came in the form of an unnamed festival at Manhattan’s Artists Space, spanning five nights in May 1978. Brian Eno happened to attend, and what he saw and heard led him to produce No New York, a scene-defining sampler that remains the most well-known no wave record. Some claim it also helped kill the scene, but it’s doubtful that any of the music would have such a strong ongoing influence without Eno’s compilation.
