Three classic albums painting unique and startling pictures of downtown Manhattan. Featured are: Moondog's superrare on-street busking classic On The Streets Of New York with all its strange chorale effects and odd street sounds is a true buried treasure; the original Views From Manhattan Tower recorded in the mid-1950s sees Gordon Jenkins paint a surreal vision of love and romance in the Big Apple; and finally, Morton Gould's strange homage to the nonstop never sleeping island of Manhattan capturing the mood and the melancholy of this infamous strip.
