My favourite Burroughs Audio Collection, -Little better than Spare Ass

This is an excellent collection of spoken word put to burnt-out, creepy subway sounds, and other beats. The short story called "where he was going" is a standout too. "A new standard by which to measure imfamy", is a nice one about the titanic disaster, and "Ah pook, the Destroyer" is a catchy...

"We're all here to go...!"

One of my favorite albums and I own thousands. Possibly the best setting of Burrough's words to music. Love the vintage TV orchestral cuts. Caution: I have bought this album for several friends who have never said a word about it! "What are we here for?"

Ode to apocalypse- the monsters behind the machine....

If you've never read Burroughs, or if it has been awhile and you would like to refresh your acquaintance, then this recording is what you are looking for. The old magician gives readings from a variety of sources including _Naked Lunch_, _Interzone_, and _The Western Lands_. He invokes his vision...

CLASSIC BURROUGHS

Track number two (THANKSGIVING PRAYER) is alone worth the price of this CD.

Brilliant and funny poetry

I didn't expect to like this album as much as I do. I just recently got it and I've already listened to it a hell of a lot. The poetry is very good and Burroughs's voice is perfect for it, and the music fits perfectly underneath the poetry. My personal favorite would have to be A Thanksgiving...

genius man on wonderful recording

I love Burroughs. he is and always has been my favorite author. I really love this album. It is just so eerie and powerful to hear this ex-junkie read these cryptic poems, messages, invitations, chapters, and songs. They just push the borders of recording genius. This man is the master of the...

Thanks for...this cd, and I'm not being sarcastic

A somnambulant, mood-swifting mindtrip into the world of William S. Burroughs...and what better than to hear arrousing and exciting tales of moral decadence, science fiction atroscities, the convictions of racism and prejudice, flowing dream imagery, political ideas & warnings, and frequent...

Slyly Done

Its great to lay down and listin to this CD at night and just listin to the ramblings of an old man. Dead Radio City is hard to put into a certain category because it touches them all. Burroughs goes from disturbing revelations to dark comedies to simple life findings. The music backing his...

Excellent Recording

I really love this cd. William Burroughs is one of my favorite writers of the beat movement. Not only is his strange, monotone voice recorded very well on this cd, there's a great soundtrack to accompany him. He reads selections from the Naked Lunch and many of his other works, with background...
