I never saw on stage somebody with more charism than Ted Milton. And this song (& the film as well) is fucking hypnotic and dropped me out; even more than 60s psychedelism (13th floor elevators, seeds, syd barrett, Skip Spence), minimalism (Reich, Conrad) or jazz (Coltrane, Ayler, Sun Ra). Blurt is not a kind of mixture of them.
& they're really different than James Chance' bands, wich do spasmodic, sharp, contorsioned dances, nervous, near under the skin. Here is a deeper trance, rooted in immemorial rythm.
Lester Bangs wrote bullshits about them at the time...
I've been trying to find this track for a good twenty years :)
