Special One - Ultra Vivid Scene

[link] Kurt Ralske's work as Ultra Vivid Scene was one of the trenchant sounds for me in the early 90s.  Here, with Kim Deal of the Pixies (another one of the trenchant sounds).  The emotional range here is narrow.  But it gets at a laconicness I had at the time.  Life was simultaneously moving fast (school and some science) and not moving at all (personal life and other stuff in science).  I was lurking in the universe somewhere, like Kurt's voice, with stuff to say that was poetic but hard to decipher.  I didn't have any stories so I made up words that could be interpreted as a lot of different stories if anyone were looking.  No one ended up looking.
