The Harlem Six (known as Blood Brothers) were a group of boys connected to a story of crime and injustice dating back to the mid-1960s. A tale of overturned fruit stands, murders, heavy sentences, and police officers beating ghetto children. An activist delivered footage of some testimonies to a young Steve Reich; it's the voice of Daniel Hamm: one of the boys sentenced to life in prison despite not being guilty of the murder attributed to him. Steve Reich extracts a phrase, and through a process of "phasing," he brings to life, in his avant-garde world, a genre that will inevitably influence music to come: from Brian Eno to Captain Beefheart, who includes the phrase "Come out to show them" in Trout Mask Replica. And ultimately, within this seeding of captured injustice, there’s a bit of Kraftwerk, Orbital, Alva Noto, The Orb, and lots of rave music. Even Bowie (guided by Eno) was a huge fan of Steve Reich. And then there's the injustice that has made Reich, over the years, a "political" composer (Different Trains, among all, is his most successful work). Steve Reich - Come Out (Original Ver.)
