View Rich in Washington's profile |
The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

I launched into entire career.
I’m not a huge fan of Softs past “FOURTH”, but recommend to keep going one by one until yer ‘noisey jazz fusioned-out’. There have been so many bootlegs now officially released in quality sound from the vintage era - that i find those send me farther than the post 1972 era.
