My nerves are bad, yes bad.
2.
This music crept by me on the water...
3.
Oh you who turn the wheel and look to windward, consider Phlebas...

Twit, twit, twit, jug, jug, jug, jug, jug, jug...

He do the police in different voices....

These fragments have I shored against my ruins.

about

Subtitled 'Urban Psychogeography vol II', this was originally a compact disc on Corpus Hermeticum. Most of this album was recorded live at the Lumiere Cinema in Christchurch in August 1997. The gig was supporting Tony Conrad, a career high point for the Dust duo. The performance was edited into discrete sections by Alastair: the parts of 'Unreal City' and 'I Had not Thought...', all named from The Waste Land, the band's 'founding charter'. The longest piece on this album was reprised from the limited H/corp cassette 'Topology of a Phantom City' and was a trio performance with Peter Stapleton recorded the previous August at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery.

This was the last Dust album of the Twentieth Century, followed by a four year hiatus until 'For Patti Smith'.
