"New Sensations" is the title track of the album Lou Reed released in April 1984, and he kept the job close to home: Reed wrote both the words and the music, and co-produced it with John Jansen, who also engineered, with Roger Moutenot and Dan Nash assisting. One station's listeners have kept coming back to it on their countdowns long after the album left the new-release racks.
