Foetus Symphony Orchestra: York
- Black Adonis
- Crumpled City
- Puddlin" Doorway
- Egomaniacs with Insecurity Problems
- Arschficken
Jim Thirlwell returns after his less than triumphant jaunt for Sony Records
with a brand new album and yet another project moniker. This time he has chosen
the record under the name Foetus Symphony Orchestra which certainly explains
the large number of classical instruments used on the album. "York" is a
project that is intended as a travelogue by composed by Jim Thirlwell & Lydia
Lunch of their experiences while living in the Farragut Housing complex under
the Manhattan Bridge overpass. The entire album, consists of pre-composed
themes and concepts that were performed as a live improvisation inside the
Brooklyn Anchorage venue located inside one of the pillars of the Brooklyn
Bridge. Musically the album is a mixture of spoken word, improvised atmosphere
and an overall feeling of paranoia about the authors past experiences in one of
the worst neighborhoods in New York City. Die-hard fans, or anyone who has
enjoyed previous collaborations between Mr. Thirlwell & Lydia Lunch, will
definitely want to acquire this album for themselves. Anyone else who has
enjoyed some of the coarser Foetus material is warned to stay away because this
album is quite unlike any other Foetus related release with perhaps the
possible exception of Steroids Maximus.
