NASH THE SLASH
Blind Windows
Finally released in the late 70's... before the mainstream advent of
CDs... as two separate albums titled Bedside
Companion and Dreams and Nightmares.
Blind Windows
is a collection of the weird and wonderful world of what has been dubbed
"punk classical " Known for his trademark mummified bandaged face and his
dark and mysterious electroviolin playing, Nash the Slash was a campus
favourite for many years and has deemed 1997 as the year to reintroduce
his unique brand of music to a whole new generation.
The complete omittance of vocals only amplifies the talent that lies
within this enigmatic performer./p>
Blind Windows
contains the complete contents of the original two albums, as well as
Bedside Companion: The Marsden Versions, which came
about when CFNY's David Marsden accidentally aired
Bedside Companion at 33 1/3 instead of 45 RPM.
The resulting effect was one that listeners enjoyed as much as the
original and was therefore included on this magnificently bizarre
collection that should not be missed. Both the original and the Marsden
version of Fever Dream are outstanding on this
collage of the strange and melodic. LT
