Murray Street Lp question
 

[Just the album over all]
I was and am listening to Murray Street and I just finished Karen Revisited. Only I just noticed something for the first time. At the end of the song you can here clapping for about ten seconds. I was wondering if it was perhaps a live recording or they just recorded clapping on the track.

Any one else notice this?

cool, thanks. sounds good atleast.

listening to nurse now.

Nah, I remember them saying they blended an early live outro recording of the song when it was still titled "dirge" onto the studio recorded verse-chorus-verse part to get the genuine improv thing... I actually think I might have been at the Gig they recorded it at. I was at both the Bowery Ballroom 9-11 benefit they did, and the NYU show (Hahahaha I was one of those pig-fuckers), two of the few shows played before the album came out. I think they also did some gigs at the flywheel, which might be more likely where it was recorded, because they could probably set up a better soundboard recording there, maybe... All of these shows used to be up in the video section of this site around the release of the record, so i guess someone could listen and compare if anyone still has those. Or maybe someone already knows.

So tell us.

Right

Now.

That's one of my faveorite songs on that record

really?


ok, here's what CL says:

The last 5 minutes of that song are so boring....that's my only discredit to the album. Yes, I like Plastic Sun...great lyrics.

another question:
does anybody know what does Street Sauce sounds like?
how does it compared to Kim Chords?

Kim Chords is my favorite instrumental

Kim Chords is a mighty piece. MAkes up for the added content on the Nurse cd not working for me!

hey thanks.

I remember Kim saying in an interview that the clapping was from a live concert. The whole noise section at the end was mixed using different recordings and SY thought that last live part was the best version so they used that part.

they recorded the noise part live - its written on the cd booklet or somewhere.

the calm freak out is a mix from something they recorded live.

i'm interested in hearing "street sauce," though.

street sauce is a longish noise/improv piece that is taken from the Demonlover Soundtrack sessions... available on Japanese versions of Murray Street, a similar sounding segment is included as a track on the Demonlover Soundtrack.

the clapping is me. i was there.
