Wrong Conclusion
About This Album
Talk about "before the beginning"; The Moving Parts was the immediate predecessor and common ancestor to seminal Boston groups Mission of Burma and Birdsongs of the Mesozoic. The group boasted the talents of Erik Lindgren -- later of Birdsongs, not to mention countless other groups -- and Roger Miller, who was in both and, as of this writing, is leader of the Alloy Orchestra. Of the other members, drummer Boby Bear has been in a multitude of Boston-area bands and has worked extensively with Willie "Loco" Alexander, bassist Clint Conley ultimately got out of music and became a television producer. However, the Moving Parts did not plunge quite so far into musical history as did Burma or Birdsongs; they lasted just 13 months, played only 13 gigs, and cut the 15 songs on Arf Arf Records retrospective Wrong Conclusion in 1978 when they were already moving in different directions. A proposed single materialized only months after the group disbanded, and was rendered irrelevant by the ascent of Mission of Burma and the need for the Moving Parts' members to spare its scant resources on projects that were reasonably current and might do them some good, such as Lindgren's early group the Space Negros.
