Rezydent Studia 54 uparł się, żeby śpiewać, a Russell wolał bitmaszynę od „żywej perkusji”... no i panowie się po tym tym numerze rozeszli. Ale tak to było wśród wynalazców amerykańskiej muzyki tanecznej!

Arthur Russell and Nicky Siano... You'd donate a crucial limb to be in the studio when these were conjured, right? Expertly extended with full emphasis on the groove, Sleeping Bag have treated the heritage with the utmost respect. The guitar and horn noodles and dynamics of "Tiger Stripes" are given heaps of space to do their thing while the percussive groove takes on an even more hypnotic edge. Meanwhile on "You Can't Hold Me Down", the scratchy, unrelenting guitar rhythmic backbone remains the main focus while more attention has been paid to the drums, most notably the weightier kicks. A very respectful revisitation.
