Unfinished Music #2 Life with the Lions (Apple, 1969)
"I make sounds to look at. This I know from Yoko. I live in her
shadow." - Thurston Moore
Melody Maker (6/28/97, p.58) - "[This] is, assuming you're
relatively strong of stomach, fantastic...for all its improvised
imprecision, it actually sounds subtle, structured
even....tremendously listenable." - Thurston Moore
Spin (9/97, p.157) - "...Lennon's feedback textures sound
startlingly contemporary--the way he plays against Ono's mantric
form-warbles, sinking into free-jazz gush, could be mistaken for
something newly struck by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore..."
