For the connoisseur... Essential track !
Read this review by Downtownmusic on discogs :
"I met Terre Thaemlitz back when he was beginning his DJ career working
at "Sally's" in the heart of the good old edgy, dangerous, authentic and
FUN "Times Square" section of NYC. Sally's was a seedy-n-sleezy
African-American Transvistite-hustler bar, and Terre was playing the
latest deep house and a few Disco classics as well, and doing much of
his shopping at Dance Tracks, where I worked at the time. We New Yorkers
were quite excited by the emergence of "Ambient" music and Alex
Patterson's work. Terry came up with this track, and David Mancuso heard
it. David's a big Orb fan as well and we all loved the way "Raw Through
A Straw" built up from a druggy ambient intro and kicked into an
amazing production built around a loop of Dennis Coffey's "Scorpio"
conga/drum break with Terre banging away on the acoustic piano, creating
a most excellent dance-floor masterpiece that combines the old-school
with the new school in a very effective manner. Need I say that Dennis
Coffey's track was a staple of the proto-disco scene in NYC and other
very early dance clubs and parties? The hard core East 3rd Street Loft
clientele immediately took a liking to this track with its timeless
combination of funky disco break flavor and experimental/ambient
production."
