The Bowery Electric 12" is well worth the effort expended to acquire it, IMO. The A-side is kind of relentlessly hypnotic, retaining a drone-like quality and propelling itself along on a bed of percussion. There's a mysterious, almost diabolical quality to the track that makes it hard to forget. The B-side incorporates (since someone asked) a sample from "Opening", a track on Philip Glass' 1982 _Glassworks_ album, and has a quiet, ethereal feel about it - one might even call it pretty. It might be heretical, but I played both sides of the aforementioned at the last Polar Bear Club. And of course heresy never goes out of style... / dave / np - The Hafler Trio, An Utterance of the Supreme Ventriloquist + the new atlantis monthly at Jitters' Twilight Lounge, Minneapolis + The POLAR BEAR CLUB monthly at The Loring Bar, Minneapolis
