Arthur Russell "That's Us/Wild Combination"

Thanks to a close friend of mine for sending this tune my way as a representation of my taste in music. What a flattering sound to be assosciated with!

And thanks to Audika records, all of Russell's finished (and unfinished) but long sought after music has been released on both cd and vinyl. Due to his untimely death from AIDS, Russell never lived to see his influence on the music world yet his vision and sound has had a profound affect on musicians today. His collaborators ranged from Phillip Glass to David Byrne to Studio 54 resident DJ Nicky Siano.

I hope you enjoy this classic as much as I do.
