5 out of 5 stars Awesome Burroughs Tribute.......2004-06-24

This amazing album blends and morphs William S. Burroughs narration into a variety of musical structures to form an impressionistic desertscape of humor, homily, and mind-bending bleakness. If you enjoyed the book "The Western Lands", this CD should be a real treat.

This and "Hallucination Engine" are arguably Material's finest works.

5 out of 5 stars The Sins of the Father..........1998-05-16

Seven remixes of material from the album "Seven Souls," put out a few years back and featuring William S. Burroughs's distinctive voice reading from his novel "The Western Lands." This album stands up better to repeat listening than its predecessor, focusing less on the content of his words than on its sonic effects, only occasionally surfacing into meaning. Talvin Singh, Bill Laswell, and DJ Olive all contibuted to this small monument to the legendary writer. Dancy at times, dubby at others, these mixes will poke at your brain and spine like live wires and leave you wanting more.
