Percy Jones with Tunnels - Percy Jones with Tunnels (1993)


Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Percy Jones - Cape Catastrophe (1990)
Tunnels - Painted Rock (1999)

More excellent, dark-hued fusion/jazz-rock from bassist Percy Jones and company. A forceful, fretless-bass-driven rhythm section, jagged guitars, warped synth, and evocative, textural atmospheres.

Track listing:
1. Inseminator
2. Prisoner of the Knitting Factory Hallway
3. Tunnels
4. Maxwell's Demon
5. Bad American Dream, Pt. 24
6. Free Bander
7. Area
8. Barrio
9. Slick
10. Improvisation

I awoke in a sweat from the American Dream
They were loading the bomb bay of the iron bird
Giving their blood to the doomsday machine
I screamed into the wind my goodbye to the world
