Metal Machine Music (excerpt)

Excerpt from Asphodel's release of 'Metal Machine Music', performed by ZEITKRATZER.

Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music may be the most misunderstood work ever created by a popular musician. The original two record set, released in 1975, was mostly noise: feedback squalls, amplifier hums and the tortured screech of electronic gadgets. Directed by Reinhold Friedl, the 11-member ZEITKRATZER ensemble from Berlin gave Reed's album a thorough listen and and Ulrich Kreiger, the group's saxophon transcribed the sounds to create an acoustic music score for their ensemble to play live.

It was once rumored that this album was made and delivered To RCA, Lou's then record company, to get out of his contract.
