i'm surprised noone's used the word "conceptual" to describe his music...

> 1993  The Negro Inside Me (EP)
i think this one is out of print, or quickly "going out of print", but i
always still see it everywhere, including Tower Records.  i mention that
b/c i highly recommend picking this one up eventually.  for some reason,
most of the people i've spoken with have skipped out on "The Negro Inside
Me" (simply b/c of the cheesy looking cover?), which is a darn shame imho.
ok, so Barry didn't have the ingenuity of Henry Cow to use the profile of a
sock for an album cover repeatedly, but i think we can forgive him... 

btw, he usually has some interesting guest musicians, like Diamanda Galas,
Nick Cave, etc...

Bt.

np: Bill Frisell/Power Tools...
