A controversial work that combines experimental and narrative elements.
Based on the novel by the Beat master Burroughs, Waits gives his own musical interpretation. The disturbing soundscape created by a collection of junk-like instruments transports the listener into a dark fairy tale. This is music as a work of art that completely breaks the framework of traditional pop music.
