Album Notes & Community Reviews
Expanding upon his bizarre, utterly unique auditory landscape, the iconic New York street performer layers dense classical counterpoint over hypnotic, self-invented tribal percussion. The highly fragmented tracks frequently utilize overlapping spoken-word poetry, street noise, and complex, shifting time signatures, resulting in an entirely uncategorizable outsider aesthetic. It remains a deeply fascinating, fiercely independent precursor to both minimalist composition and avant-garde pop.
