Found a cheap, used copy of this out of print cd. Latin/Caribbean/jazz funk & soul from the early '70s.

Some pretty decent mid 70s disco/funk. Crap name for a band though.

Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music
The Cure - Disintegration

I can't tell if Lou Reed was being serious with this album or not, but either way it's rubbish. All of it

I get the feeling that it was. Faced with a lot of pressure both in his career and his life and the fact that he had a lot of experimental influences, I could hear that something like this was something of an outburst. My take on this - Part artistic outburst, part FU to RCA, part sonic experimentation. I can sense it was a very intense time.

There is some "you either get it or not" humor in the back liner notes, though.

I can understand that there are not many fans of this, but in a way I seem to like this a bit - more in parts than taken in whole. As I stated elsewhere here, today it's kind of like a perfect soundtrack to venturing in decayed areas where industry used to thrive.

It was also considered to be released on RCA's Red Seal, the Classical Division, which would have been more perfect for this. If it would have been, then it would possibly would have been heard the right way more. Instead, this was marketed like any other Lou Reed album.

The story I've always heard was that he wanted out of his recording contract but still owed RCA an other record.
