Product Description

CD Description
Producer Hal Willner, who in the past has produced off-beattribute albums to the likes of Thelonius Monk, Kurt Weill, and even Disney songwriters, collaborates again here, as on the earlier DEAD MAN'S RADIO, with Beat legend William S. Burroughs. Burroughs' dusty, sandpaper-dry readings from several of his works, including NOVA EXPRESS, are augmented with a combination of hip-hop tracks and found music, such as schmaltzy orchestral pop from the '50s, cheesy synthesizer versions of Bach airs, and Christmas carols.
The (intentional) effect is an aural equivalent of the cut-up writing style Burroughs pioneered. Pick hit: "Did I Ever Tell You About the Man That Taught His Asshole to Talk", a hallucinatory shaggy dog monologue that's one of the highlights of his most famous work, NAKED LUNCH.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent music, stories and concept that is fused together well, 22 Nov 2008
By R. Hallett "ambienthighway" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An odd collection of music and narratives and W Burroughs voice is highly distinctive. On a personal note I have played Junkys Christmas probably around 50+ plus times and never get tired listening to it - it's a fantastic piece. There are a number of other selected tracks that are really quite good and outstanding.

The music background seems quite appropriate and justified in all instances.

The music and spoken dialogue has been melded well together, I really can't image this having been bettered at any time.

If you are considering this purchase, go ahead you will not regret it and will be rewarded by a lifetime of music, words and strange bizarre stories that seem to fit together.
