In a foreword to the book No Wave, writing about the movement's continuing influence Weasel Walter sez:
"I began to express myself musically in a way that felt true to myself, constantly pushing the limits of idiom or genre and always screaming "Fuck You!" loudly in the process. It's how I felt then and I still feel it now. The ideals behind the (anti-) movement known as No Wave were found in many other archetypes before and just as many afterwards, but for a few years around the late 1970s, the concentration of those ideals reached a cohesive, white-hot focus."
From the compilation notes: Madcap selections from WW's solo archives, spanning 1995-2010
"The Best of the Worst contains 1 hour & 36 minutes of abstract mastery, including drum solo pieces, rare compilation tracks, guitar deconstructions, abrasive brutal prog composition, deathly minimalism, machine guns & air raid sirens with Beefheartian skronk in one long, flowing stream of audio terror."
