Quite probably the most modern and forward looking song the Stones have created since Undercover Of The Night.
And more amazingly is that it's one of Keith's. Mick always is the one pushing for modern sounds and rhythms and yet up comes Keith with an absolutely ground-breaking slice of musique-noire.
It took me a while to get to grips with this one but boy, when it did it hit home big time.
For me it sounds like something that could be the imaginary soundtrack to an as yet unreleased David Lynch surreal film chiller with uncertainty, desperation, paranoia and a constant feeling of floating and falling creating a hallucinatory backdrop.
And should it really seem so strange that Keith has written this track? When you dissect it Thru And Thru is really an update of the blues. It's a future blues - updating the form just like Sister Morphine did 25 years earlier - with a similar nightmarish effect.
While the album version is great it's the 8.30 minute outtake on Voodoo Brew, I believe, that is the masterpiece.
It's a perfect piece of chill out, post late night come down music. And it's crying out to be used in a movie.

One of my Keith faves. Love the vocal, the lyrics, the massive kicks from Charlie. Truly wish Keith would do this, and Slipping Way, as his set.

from [www.timeisonourside.com] :
"(The monster drum sound) is the stairwell. It's on four or five songs on the album ...
It (was) a 4-flight stairwell, and I started off at the top, which is Moon Is Up,
and I ended up at the bottom playing You Got Me Rocking and Thru and Thru...
The studio's at the top. ...So we started off out by the door there, and then Don Smith said,
Would you go to the bottom and try it? It was a bit small down there, but it was all right.
The problem is you can't hear anything down there except drums. Such tremendous sound."
- Charlie Watts, June 1994

I don't feel anything when Keith plays slow songs.........he really should do more uptempo songs with more aggression
