About

TNT is the third album by American post-rock band Tortoise. The cover art is simply a doodle made by a band member on a CD-R cover insert during the recording sessions. "Jetty" is an alternate version of 1997 song "La Jetée" by Tortoise's jazzier sister group, Isotope 217. (Both songs took their name from landmark experimental film La jetée.) The track "In Sarah, Mencken, Christ, and Beethoven There Were Women and Men" takes its title from a similarly titled work from Robert Ashley recorded in 1972. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_%28Tortoise_album%29
