TONY CONRAD WITH FAUST
Outside the Dream Syndicate Live
(Table of the Elements)

· Rare live performance by acclaimed avant-garde musician.

There are many reasons why one might slip this disc into the player. Perhaps you’re a rabid fan of Jim O’Rourke, who appears here. Or maybe you’ve always wondered who John Cale of the Velvet Underground shared musical ideas with back in the day. Or who inspires Sonic Youth. Maybe you read about this performance in a super-arty elitist magazine back in 1995 and were curious about what it actually sounded like. Maybe you really like experimental music. Maybe your high school teacher played it in class and wouldn’t turn it off until it was over. Maybe that guy in your office kept playing that same cello chord sound over and over and over again as the violins whined like cats in heat and the drums kept going like piledrivers.
