GRANT HART
 INTOLERANCE SST  | 
    After taking a short breather follow-
ing the demise of his band Husker Du,
songwriter Grant Hart has assembled a
quirky package of irresistible material.
This is solo recording in the truest
sense with Hart on guitar, psychedelic
keyboards and a few stray construction
tools.  The songs are passionate and
hooky at once.  "All of My Senses"
celebrates icicles, old paint and side-
walks before ending in a giddy round of
applause.  "25-41" is another stealer,
about the sunny address of a broken
relationship.  He falters on the keyboard
instrumental "Roller Rink" which
plods, but mostly he's right on the
mark.  Hart takes chances experiment-
ing with a number of musical styles,
from a folky singalong "The Main" to a
beautifully haunting "You're the Vic-
tim," where he substitutes a whistle
for a lead guitar solo.       Beth Fertig
