Downside Special

about

As Terminal Lovers operates on more of a Cintron & Heavy Friends type of affair and this line-up recorded THE DOWNSIDE SPECIAL album in its entirety, it could reasonably be asserted that The Downside Special was far more of a real group than Terminal Lovers are ever pretending to be, having played the role not just of a vehicle for Herr Cintron’s songs but also as the practise mat on which he learned to perfect the moves he would later exhibit so successfully for us on DRAMA PIT (& LOAN). That said, the jams within this LP are not quite as far flung, though often are just as long. By the way, the unearthly noises of this album are made by the unlikely-named gobulophones of the Tolkeinnesque misfit Steve Golub (strange that, as ‘twas Cintron himself who plays the noise role in another early Cleveland ensemble SpeakerCranker) User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
