Tuymans, Luc / Balka, Miroslav ??? Crazy Horses {Ultra Eczema}

This is two guys just horsing around. Seriously. No, dude, they are literally & figuratively horsing around on this recording, no joke or trite summation. Not good enough, huh? OK, so the story goes that renowned Belgian artist Luc Tuymans & Polish sculpturist Miroslav Balka fidgeted around with a hand held cassette recorder at the Fundacao de Serralves and Porto Palacio Hotel where an art exhibit called ???Privacy??? occurred in 1998. The two men jostle the recorder around in the garden & inside the building, which they refer to as being ???shit,??? that housed the show. What started as a fun mouth mimicking of running horses & hooves turned into humorous asides & more wild, untamed & crazy horses. They comment on the quality of equestrian noises they make, ???Oh, that???s good!??? They pause & ask, ???Where??? the mic? How are you? Did you enjoy the show???? before returning to another round of whinnies & laughter. There???s a lot of mic commotion, heavy breathing, a woman questioning in Spanish, Everything ButThe Girl???s club hit ???And I Miss You??? playing briefly as background as these men clock their tongues, massively inhale, squish sticky cheeks together & let out meows amidst the neighs. It???s quite an amusing and bizarre sort of competition. This one-sided vinyl is limited to 500 copies and has an etched drawing on the non-playable surface by Tumans & Balka.

FCC: SHIT (1:22 ??? 1:40 but no curses after that)
