Description by OLDIES.com:

A CD reissue of Devo's 1979 follow-up album to "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!" Produced by Brian Eno.

Product Description:

Although not quite as stellar as its predecessor, 1979's 'DUTY NOW FOR THE FUTURE' is a solid second release by those loveable spuds from Ohio. With hindsight, DUTY helped bridge the gap between the quirky weirdness of their debut and their more accessible third album, FREEDOM OF CHOICE, which would prove to be their breakthrough commercial success (achieving gold status and spawning the classic new wave hit "Whip It"). Replacing Brian Eno as producer is another Bowie disciple, Ken Scott (ZIGGY STARDUST, HUNKY DORY), who helps guide the band towards a more "rock" sound.

Devo tackled the Stones' "Satisfaction" on their debut, and on DUTY they cover the '60s surf/spy hit "Secret Agent Man." Other highlights include the epic "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA," which twists and turns for six paranoia-filled minutes, the fast and spastic early concert favorite "Red Eye Express," and "The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprize." You'll also find two instrumentals--the humorous "Devo Corporate Anthem" and the hyperactive "Timing X," as well as the full-throttle "Wiggly World" and the more moderately paced "Blockhead." DUTY NOW FOR THE FUTURE is a prime slice of early Devo.
