The original Metal Machine Music (RCA, 1975) may be the most notorious and controversial album ever released by a major rock star.In contrast to preceding Lou Reed albums such as Transformer (RCA, 1972) and Berlin (RCA, 1973), MMM had no songs or vocals, just four sides (it was a double album) of sound generated by guitars feeding back.Following MMM, Reed was told that his career was over and he would never record again, but he was given another chance and returned to songs and vocals with his next album, Coney Island Baby (RCA, 1976).In truth, MMM was impossible to follow.But those who took the time to listen to MMM closely discovered a new music that combined the energy and sound of rock with a form that had more in common with the sustained repetition of minimalism.MMM album to produce an acoustic score for the ensemble to play live.Imagine listening to the sound of guitars feeding back, their feedback interacting to create complex patterns, and then trying accurately to recreate that sound using strings, saxophone, trumpet, tuba, piano and accordion.But when he heard a few minutes of the resulting music, he not only believed it, he agreed to play with the group live at the Berlin Opera House.Why use a choir to copy the sounds of a car?But gradually, the new album has grown on me.For once, the DVD is not an irrelevant extra included to bulk out the package and hike the price, but a vital part of the experience.It throws light on Reed's current view of MMM and its history (which may or may not be historically accurate, but is certainly entertaining to hear).This latest release continues the rehabilitation process.Visit Zeitkratzer on the web.Doing a dance about architecture...Make a donation and support All About Jazz
