I like this album too, but are you hearing "New Orleans" based on Ben's clarinet?

Ja, I hear it in the horns in general with some of the ways they harmonize and occasionally follow each other's melodies.

I'll have to take your word on the New Orleans jazz thing (although it does remind me of Duke Ellington's New Orleans Suite, which I assume is related to it), but I love the music

Taking a break from Hermeto for a couple of hours...

Another GREAT entry in what I call the extended Genesis P universe. This time Gen produced it.

"Post-punk at its most invigorating and terrifying."

It's really one of the most brilliant albums of that and any era. AND, as you say, it shows there's a significant overlap between the more experimental postpunk of that era and early industrial.

Do you know The Gospel According to the Meninblack by the Stranglers? It's their most experimental work and sometimes reminds me of 23 Skidoo in its general direction, though it's also very different (for starters it's a ****ing concept album about alien visitations).

Genuinely thrilling. Two great musicians getting the best out of each other.

Stina Nordenstam – Dynamite (1996)

An alternative rock album that doesn't sound like much else. Very unique voice and guitar sound.
