Time is Money (Bastard) is the fifth release by the New York No Wave band Swans. Notable for the first official appearance of Jarboe, this single also marks a turning point in the band's sound, moving away from the slow, churning noise rock of their early work to a more minimal, industrial sound. Both mixes of the title song utilise sampled beats (in this case a nail gun) in addition to live drums; the result is almost dancey. The down-tempo B-side "Sealed in Skin", however, pushes the band's sound even farther as the first in their catalogue to use piano.
