Urban, since I've never been a big fan of Yes, I was amused by your blow-by-blow description of your successful attempt to listen to a whole album...especially when you said the music sounded like loads of people banging cutlery together. I rather like surprises, so I should probably listen to that song.

N.Y. Scum - For the first 5 minutes some guy rips as much feedback out of his guitar as he can manage while being backed by a bunch of Hare Krishna's on percussion, all the while a drunk couple has a domestic argument. The final 2 minutes drunk guy attempts to make a techno record.
In a word ... Brilliant.

Hmm....your short review inspired me to listen again to a Psychic TV song (but a shorter one than N.Y. Scum): "Godstar." I also listened to "Have Mercy." They have a raw quirky sound that's fun. The "Have Mercy" song with the words "I love you" in it reminds me of a talking dog who says, "I ruv woo," whom I saw once on the David Letterman show.
I was disappointed I haven't found "N.Y. Scum" online yet, because I'd like to hear what a bunch of Hare Krishnas playing percussion sound like.
