A Streetcar Named PCC 4001
the flanged metal rings of the wheels on an old streetcar are as much an influence on electro as sci-fi, the 8o8 cowbell, Kraftwerk, vocoders, skittering hi hats , booming bass and Bambaattaa. the clattering of the tracks are hypnotic rhythms for the weary returning home, a prototype for mechanized urban tribal soul.
