Description from the seller

Artist: Von Lmo
Album: Future Language
Label: StraZar
Catalog Number: 88-D (indicated on VMG certification) / 88-X (Side 1 label)

2. Description
Originally released in 1981, Future Language is the seminal debut studio album from the enigmatic Brooklyn-based artist Von Lmo. Recorded "in space" (as the liner notes suggest) and dedicated to the advancement of the U.S. space program, the album is a cornerstone of the No Wave and experimental rock movements. Its sound is a chaotic yet brilliant blend of aggressive guitars, electronic saxophone, and primitive synthesizers. The iconic cover art features the band in metallic silver space suits, perfectly capturing the futuristic and confrontational aesthetic of the early 80s NYC underground scene.
3. Condition
VMG Soft-Grading Certification: 8.0
Overall Grade: Excellent (EX)
The item has been professionally evaluated by Vintage Media Grading. An 8.0 grade indicates a high-quality copy with only minor signs of wear, maintaining excellent shelf appeal. The vinyl is housed in a protective "Invest In Vinyl" sleeve, ensuring the preservation of the surface and labels.
4. Notes for collectors
️ FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRESSING ️
This is the original 1981 first edition released independently on Von Lmo’s own StraZar label. It is extremely rare to find this independent pressing in such high graded condition, as many original copies were subject to heavy play in the NYC club circuit. Unlike later reissues on labels like Flemish Masters or Munster, this 1981 original represents the artist's pure, unfiltered vision. For collectors of No Wave and experimental music, this is an essential cornerstone piece.
