Very Eno(with lyrics)-esque sort of early Talking Heads feel to it. I REALLY wish
I could track this down. I talked to Phillip at his A2 "Beauty and The Beast" show
about 4 years ago and asked him about the possibility of re-releasing it. It was
kind of amusing...there was a passle of very hifalutin' artsy types vying for Mr.
Glass' attention as I mentioned this. Most of them had a look between "someone
farted" and vultures waiting for a kill, but Phillip turned his full attention to
me with childlike glee and went on and on about Polyrock for a good 10 minutes.
The bottom line was "yes - I must get in touch with xyz and see what can be done.
That record was quite ahead of its time". Anyone got a copy they'd like to sell?
