William S. Burroughs - Nothing Here Now But The Recordings

William S. Burroughs - Nothing Here Now But The RecordingsIn 1980, Genesis P Orridge and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson of (then )Throbbing Gristle travelled to New York City to meet up at the fortified apartment, known as The Bunker, of famed beat writer and cultural pioneer William S. Burroughs and his executor James Grauerholz. Genesis and Sleazy started the daunting task of compiling the experimental sound works of Burroughs, which, up until that point, had never been widely heard. During those visits,

the obstacles and troubles in our lives can make the world seem impossibly

Of each of Heaven Vol

Recorded with a live

and the immense The Final Arrears #19 single

this edition is cut directly from the original quarter-inch tapes—delivering the raw

With tracks like the haunting title song "The Lion's Roar" and the poignant "Emmylou

and 'Dust My Broom' by Elmore James

the song was first released in 1998

This 1970 classic slams open with “Roadhouse Blues

which is almost like a best-of record

this album pushes boundaries while staying true to Clark’s deep-rooted soul and storytelling
