DARK DAY

All 13 songs on "Exterminating Angel" use cheap synthesizers to create cyclical, machine-like keyboard riffs as a foundation for the moody, Teutonic music. Crutchfield sings like a lost member of Kraftwerk with a dry detachment creating a starker and chillier atmosphere. Lyrics were derived from cut-up methods similar to those used by the surrealists, fluxus artists, and William Burroughs and Bryon Gysin and pit the subjected against their torments and tormentors. All songs on "Exterminating Angel" were originally recorded at Sorcerer Sound, NYC. 1979 and produced by Charles Ball.
