NAKED ANGELS—Original Soundtrack (Straight Records)::At last the true musical (ahem) soundtrack for Altamont. When you're locked into the B-side of life (and who ain't), this is the only muzak, the only dirge to quench the urge. All cycle mythology aside, this is definitely art as sleeze.

The record slips through the textures of outlaw ether like an ice pick into the testicles (yeah, I saw Midnight Express too), and makes Easy Rider look like Mork and Mindy on a six-day suck n' fuck session at Plato's Retreat. �Rat Grind� excels, 'Toccata for Truck� is pure biker id-rock, and �Bar Dream� is pure uncut boozeadelia. , J the F
