Dull Bang

A soundtrack to a film by Michael DiPaolo about the horrors of a runaway teenage girl’s life in New York, was released in 1988 on Dossier (re-released in 1997 on KOCH, now out of print). This CD is a SOLO electronic record, the only one to date by Previte. Some words the press used to describe this record included “dark,” “disturbing,” “shocking,” “malevolent,” “dizzying,” “unnerving,” “provoking” and “unsettling.”

Buffalo News—“An extraordinary swirl of nightmare sound. A kind of aural massage for certifiable paranoids.
Village Voice— “You feel like you are being beckoned into a Thai brothel.” Downbeat—“Suggests a gamelon orchestra playing in Hell.”

Enough said.
