I compromised on the 25-minute 'radio cut' of what is in fact a much longer work. The improvided 13-bar fragmement written/sung by unknown homeless 'Harold Ramp'. I assiduously avoided the various 'remixes' where musician such as Tom Waits take the part. It's the faith of a man ignored by the world that brings fagility to the piece - NOT post-production.

Now, what does the song tell use ABOUT this 'sex machine'? Well, we can infer it isn't portable - still, early days I suppose.
