[the ikara cult]

Its hard to ask hardcore Sonic Youth fans a question like this, most of us adore much of the full 30 year spectrum of what they produced, and alot of us would draw a line stylistically from some of the songs from NYC Ghosts & Flowers directly back to songs from their first EP. For me thats a more important context in which to understand the stuff inbetween. Everything since that album for me has always felt like a very different group (Jim O Rourke joining contributed alot to that as well).
