The "real" track 12 is a weird little thing that >I assume is either on the album or some single -- it was definitely >recorded off a record, begins with Pink Floyd's "Get Your Filthy Hands >Off of My Desert", and ends with the needle being scraped all across >the grooves. Jeez, talk about observative! Or perhaps you listen to Floyd's "The Final Cut" more often than I do, which is about once every ten years. Anway, the weird cut is entitled "Echo Canyon" -- according to the bottom of the front cover. It wasn't on any of the vinyl releases, though who knows about compilations and tapes. >Oh yeah, the music. I don't immediately like it as much as EVOL, but >I'll play it some more and let it grow on me. The first four or five >tracks are pretty good, I'll admit. Getting better, isn't it? With every listen. And soon you'll take back those words, "pretty good." I mean shheeeeesh! And first four or five? What about "Death Valley 69"??? It's the great climax of Bad Moon Rising, the last cut from the LP. Sure, Lydia Lunch's vocals are screwed, but that's how she's supposed to sound. (Heavy smileys) --John
