I listened to this album the other day. This is a highlight on the track. I initially discovered David Holmes' music through WFMU when "Let's Get Killed" was on regular play around 1996/7.

Sadly, there are too many Republican politicians named Rick: Perry, and Scott among others. Hopefully, we will not go the way of the Karen reputation which is unfair to women and girls named Karen. How about Amy? It was actually Amy Cooper who racially profiled in Central Park and Amy Coney Barrett is about to make our lives more difficult. Don't forget Amy Elliot Dunne, the antihero of the novel and film Gone Girl.

@Tim ... Might have been. I have to check later. It was a New York based film like Pope of Greenwich Village or The Wanderers. That's where I first was taken by the group.

I hate to hear stories of record companies exploiting and ripping off artists.
All too common.
