The Red Krayola - Amor and Language

The sound of this mini-album is about as gentle as '90s experimental rock gets, and not without its pleasing riffs here and there. But the non-linear lyrics, odd electronic buzzes, and mild guitar dissonances effectively prohibit this from being viewed as a sellout of any sort. It's music for open-minded fans who don't necessarily want to be assaulted while they free-associate!! Released by Drag City in 1995 on 12''/CD, Red Krayola on this occasion were consuelo & meme, tricia donnelly, john elder, david grubbs, george hurley, margo leavin, steve linn, sharon lockhart, john mcentire, albert oehlen, jim o'rourke, stephen prina, franz schnaas, alex slade, margo leavin, mayo thompson, tom watson, christopher williams, rachel williams, steven wong.

hey no worries Mr Hooligan, your posts are fine. Bound to have something similar, what with having superb tastes, then again, yours seem far wider than me, I keep discovering,its what happens a life time on the margins so to speak, with nearest record shop quite a distance away. Hey ho.Take it easy. Laters.xx
