NEIL YOUNG'S DEAD MAN

Neil Young's experimental musical opus is the score to Jim Jarmusch's film Dead Man (1995). If you are a die hard fan of Young, you will love this album. Some feedback, and distortion but mainly several haunting renditions of one riff. An added bonus is audio of Johnny Depp reading William Blake poems.
This album is perfect for the iPod especially if you have it on shuffle. Let yourself be suprised.
The preferred time to listen to this album (if there is one), is on a long car-ride or train-ride. It's dark out and of course it's raining. It will complete the mood.
Like a fine Scotch. You may need an acquired taste to this, but... ahhh well worth it.
A gem you keep hidden for particular times and particular moods.

WADE GETS PERSONAL:
I bought this album my sophomore year in college after my brother mailed me a newspaper review of it. I was president of my school's film society and we had the movie playing there in the Spring (where I got to see it free- hey, I was the prez).
I loved both the movie and the soundtrack. Had the movie poster on my wall through my senior year.
