Church of Anthrax


By John Cale and Terry Riley. I'm listening to it. For some reason it's been a while since I've listened to very much New York minimalism. I've been wandering in the story shaped pathways of Romantic music. Yesterday was all about Berg.

There's something very beefy about the sound of this album, the production and the mix of bass and organ, with an immersive clatter of drums. Very strange album cover.

On the topic of that cover, for years I've been dying to know the name of this sort of cross-section image. For some reason the word "asmodean" comes to mind, no idea why. Can anyone fill me in?
