Vertical Slit - Twisted Steel and the Tits of Angels (1996)


A compilation of select tracks from out of print singles and cassettes from Jim Shepard's first band. Probably not the best place to start (his solo albums or V-3 stuff would be better) but if you are fixin' to hear more from this lo-fi legend this should satisfy your appetite. You can hear bits of MC5er Fred "Sonic" Smith, Sonny Sharrock and Can's Michael Karoli in Shepard's alternately piercing and massaging use of feedback, while his lyrics coat everything in sight with overlapping bile and black humor.
