I&rsquo;ve heard clearer remasters of it since, but the sonic murkiness of the reverb they threw on or whatever it might be, is for me a major part of its lo-fi charm. Also, Reed was hammered when he recorded this (as usual), and I get such a kick out of how he insists on cutting the first line of each vocal verse short, throwing off the rest of the band, with his second guitarist audibly stomping on the floor trying to get Reed back into time with everyone else&hellip; such a strange mood to it, when all is said and done.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=johncomic&ditemid=714105" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2017-04-06:2897665:702253 2019-10-29T02:56:29Z 2019-10-29T02:56:29Z <b>The Cult - <i>Electric</i></b> rustic public 0 seeing a busker duo downtown playing acoustic guitar and washboard -- which I&nbsp;have never before seen IRL (it was quite swell)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=johncomic&ditemid=702253" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
