Ranaldo, Lee / Amarillo Ramp (for Robert Smithson)

Starlight Furniture Company

Sonic Youth's left-minded, and soft-spoken lead guitarist continues to wield a big stick on this solo outing of the highest sonic magnitude. First off is the title track, a 34-minute live recording from 1994 with after-the-fact wave-shaping and spectral improvement by Rafael Toral, followed by an instrumental "Anagrama" type frolic with bandmates Steve Shelley and Thurston Moore. Also: a couple of soundtrack excerpts and a John Lennon cover featuring the late Epic Soundtracks. As always it's a brilliant ride.
