There was a repress recently of SLX-0 recently which has "Go Bang #1" and "Clean On Your Bean #5", if you want to play AR out on Vinyl. "Go Bang #1" is a brilliantly lateral jazzy disco track, and "Clean On Your Bean" is nice as well.
I've been on an Arthur Russell/Sleeping Bag kick lately. I got a copy of Sleeping Bag's Greatest Mixers III which has a track called "Bango" which is credited to Todd Terry & Arthur Russell, which is Todd Terry's edit/remix of stuff from the Go Bang sessions. Arthur Russell was a unique artist who never got the attention he deserved when he was alive. Apparently there is hundreds of hours of his work, some of it only on home made cassettes; I guess Audika is going to release some more stuff this summer. And as an Iowan who plays the 'cello, it's cool seeing a 'cellist from Iowa doing great things ;-) On Wed, 7 Apr 2004, Thomas D.
