Bat-Bike - Getting Back
There's some great creative stuff on this album, moments of magic where the improv really created a spark. Then there's other stuff that just sounded pretty sloppy to me, or dragging out one riff for far too long. Which begs the question - is it good to revise, alter, improve, or does that just destroy the moment of band members finding something original together? William Burroughs said that to revise and delete passages was a form of lying, you are no longer truely mapping out the human psych. It worked for his writing for the most part, for Bat Bike I think this album would be better after some revision, keeping the great stuff (there are some really great moments) and ditching the crap parts. But maybe I'm missing the point.
