utilized by Burroughs in his infamous novel, Naked Lunch, Break Through... is the audio version of the experimentaion done by Burroughs where he splices words and phrases to create entirely new ideas...great for those who are interested in the history of freakish pop culture and those who really like or are facinated by Burroughs!

This is THE recorded document of Burroughs' work with Brion Gysin, and is the ONLY available PRIMARY AUDIO TEXT dealing with CUT-UP THEORY. This set of recordings is best listened to in some temporal proximity to reading Burroughs and Gysin's "The Third Mind," the PRIMARY WRITTEN TEXT of CUT-UP THEORY, and to viewing of the films that Burroughs and Gysin made with Anthony Balch in the early 1960s, "The Cut-Ups," and "Towers Open Fire."
If you are a student of The Beats, and of the Burroughs/Gysin end of the Beats in particular, then this is REQUIRED LISTENING.
If you are a student of the human mind, then this is REQUIRED LISTENING.
If you are a student of art, and are interested in a way to take verbal expression out of its straightjacket, then then this is REQUIRED LISTENING.
Get it. And be enlightened.

This recording is a delightful tour through the right brain of Burroughs. A must have for any punk, artist, or one who appreciates the bizarre creative genius of W.S.B.
Always gritty, always underground. It always puts me in a good mood.
