Sonic Youth-NYC Ghosts + Flowers

This 2000 release is their most experimental and Avant-Garde and my least favorite of theirs. Also the last album of theirs I bought on cassette. Of the eight songs more than half have some spoken word by Thurston Moore,Kim Gordom and Lee Renaldo sounding like the Beat Poetry of the 50’s. Jim O’Rourke makes his first appearance as a guest artist, he would become the fifth member of the band on their next few albums.
