career - twins

rhythm nation and reelcod recs present rhythm nation #47 career's 'twins". this features career in quartet formation, playing 9 interpersonal displays of affection, featuring one sy-inspired vestibule, as well as several beautiful kazoo/alto sax duets. hope you folks can dig it!

praise for 'twins":

"Excepting a gaping logic loophole at its center, this is surprisingly well-directed and entertaining from start to finish."

-Jammy Jeffries, NBCTV

"Occasionally fetching but largely overdeliberate and way too plodding for a quality psychological thriller."

-Burton Cummings

"Direly dreadful from start to finish, its self-conscious eccentricity is both smug and invidious."

-Ted Williams and James Brown in unison

" It's ultimately a failure due to such a poppycock follow-through that seriously undermines such a understatedly-frightening first-half."

-Cammy Granato, USA Hockey

All the best,
