Format: Audio CD
A true Lower East Side production by artists pre-gentrification. All of the recording equipment and many of the instruments on this cd were built by hand. They recorded with old ribbon microphones and refurbished reel to reel machines. The eclectic instrumentation (vibraphone, stand-up bass, toy organ, sitar ) played by Jarboe and Lary Seven is awe-inspiring.
The loops created here were achieved by stretching the reel of tape around the living room furniture. All of the recording was done live and nothing was punched-in or corrected. Part of the charm of this recording is listening through headphones and hearing a NYC ambulance or motorcycle roar by on Avenue B, Lower East Side.

Format: Audio CD
There is a dance here, of shifting moods and interweaving themes carried by intricate layers of sound. The album is challenging and addictive and mostly not reminiscent of Jarboe's solo work or that with Swans and World of Skin. It's astonishing that no instruments were conventionally employed in creating these haunting textures. Even more remarkable is the cohesion of an album of such stylistic diversity: breezy pop, techno, electro, tribal and industrial collages, folk, spoken poems, lullabies, nursery rhymes, experimental and ambient pieces.

Themes cross musical and emotional boundaries. For example, the major theme of childhood weaves through Bebe Marie, Coruscation, Liquid Bebe Psychedelia, My Bruise, I Know You Don't Like Me, Newborn Child, Show and I Feel Pretty. These tracks represent numerous distinct styles and/or contradictory emotions although stolen innocence characterizes all the darker ones.

'It's ok to be afraid,' Jarboe soothes Bebe Marie over exquisite percussive patterns, glockenspiel and reverberating chimes. The vocals alternate between spoken word and delicate phonation in the upper registers. One gets the impression of walking down a dark tunnel which is collapsing behind you.

Suddenly the scene changes to children playing a ritualistic circle game and the mood swings to mockery as her lilting contralto intones a hypnotic folk /gospel chant to harpsichords and handclaps.
