Kathy Acker - Redoing Childhood
Kathy Acker’s Re-Doing Childhood, originally released in 2000, is better experienced than described. Based on her book My Mother: Demonology the album is spoken word full of surrealistic and often disturbing images. This is not for everyone but those who understand it will find it irresistible to turn away from. Acker’s own voice is quite powerful but the instrumental background is incredibly moving and fit perfectly with the poet’s unique vision. I especially like “Miss Savage’s School For Girl” but this is an album best listened to in its entirety.
The album is available from the amazing Ubuweb in 192kbps MP3.
