Blind Windows
(1978 & 1979, re-release 1996)
Originally 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
electro-violin playing, Nash the Slash was a campus favourite for many years
and has deemed 1997 as the year to re-introduce 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. 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 331/3 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.
