Artist: Strange Circuits (Rodney Bakerr)
Song: Industrial Living

This is a rare 45 from 1980's Chicago club band, Strange Circuits, which was fronted by Art Institute graduate, Rodney Bakerr who wrote all the songs and played the Chapman Stick through a number of early synthesizers and effects. The record is now a collector's item, but I know XRT had a copy back then that got some play on the "Local Anaeshtetic" show... I chose this song because the artist's Art Institute training, and he was a classmate/friend of Ed Pashke's who donated the image for the cover... and the song itself is a frantic expression of frustraition and panic from an artist striving and living at the end of the 20th century which seems to fit with a number of the works in the Modern Wing
