Bonus: 10 minute "jam" of Neil Young with Devo as his backing band doing "My My Hey Hey", with Mark Mothersbaugh on vocals. From the movie Human Highway.
get it here.
Pretty crazy album here. Most of the songs are sung with a vocoder. The first of two albums that ended up getting Neil sued by Geffen records for turning in "unmarketable albums." How cool is that? Anyways, the sound is very different from an average Neil Young Album, as the compositions represent "future music" - somewhere in between the gap between Kraftwerk and Trans Am... but I know its sort of cheesy to and lame to say that. Whatever.
From wikipedia:
"The story behind its creation is very interesting. Neil Young found that when using a vocoder when communicating to his son (who was born with cerebral palsy) he was able to elicit a better response." wow.
