    For me it's the perfect theme for big cities, somehow so industrial yet so somehow full of character. Unbelievable timeless tune

      Their other album the same thing. It's the most perfect for riding down Beverly/ 1st in Los Angeles away from downtown toward Vermont. If you listen around sunset and hit the curve when the water is spraying from the car wash, forget it. This music is Los Angeles to me (although they from New York or Chicago or something)
      Good call

    Maybe this sounds strange, but listening to Bowery Electric is not an escape for me, it's the opposite. I often feel as if I'm disconected from myself, my mind kind of out of sync where clarity seems just out of my grasp but listening to this plugs me back in and makes that connection. No other music does this for me.

    This is defined as "Dream Pop" but for me it is the greatest expression of "Industrial" (in the truest sense not as in the genre). I still can't get over how fucking brilliant the soundscape is in this track, and I've been listening to it for over a decade.

    . I was searching through the MTV show 120 minutes I had recorded the night before, when suddenly this little beauty pops up. I must have listened to this track about a hundred times on ( video tape ). From what was a very bleak uninteresting time in so called indie music after say 1994 ( except for F.S.A. ) this was pure indulgence. Got it on vinyl as well which is worth a few £ today. Never would sell it.

    I feel like this song represents the uncovering of repressed issues through nightmares. Around the time i found this song I'd been having nightmares almost every night for a few months, eventually leading to me becoming aware of things and recent events in my life that i was still processing and dwelling over, and were making me feel horrible on an almost daily basis. When i heard this song and read the lyrics I realized it perfectly represented what I'd found by searching in myself. We all get used to dreams that used to please us, or even carry no apparent meaning to us, but when these dreams become dark and unsettling it's a startling and frightening experience. These dreams bring to our awareness things that we've become unconscious of, and only by becoming conscious of these things can we be freed from them. Just my interpretation tho, I'm sure i sound super pretentious lol.
