A lo-fi original, from before the term meant anything. 23 slyly infectious pieces of music, most of which were intended to be a sound track for the movie called Heart Like a wheel (later released as Made In USA). Full of twisting hooks and noisey, ear catching melodies. Give 'em a listen or two, and you will be hooked too. Too bad the movie got hacked to inanity before release.

If you like SY for there ability to take you somewhere with a story instrumentally with the occassional obscure vocals, then this album is up your alley. It is as if you are driving through the desert in your unair-conditioned car, looking for an adventure. Very abstract. This album is not for you if you like powercords verse-chorus-verse chorus.

I am a huge Sonic Youth fan and listened to this album pretty much non-stop circa 2002-2003. It is the absolute perfect background music, road trip music, working music, etc. Sonic Youth is brilliant and this album is perfection. I recently tried to find it on Spotify and it seems to be the only Sonic Youth album not on Spotify. Therefore, it has become my mission to find my old CD collection, wherever it may be hiding, so I can pull this album out, dust it off, and put it back into my daily rotation.
