Before Driving to the Chapel We Took Coffee With Rick and Jennifer Reed cover art

Recorded at a Houston festival in 1996, this sprawling, single-track performance perfectly illustrates AMM's commitment to microscopic, reductionist improvisation. John Tilbury and Eddie Prévost generate vast, glacial drone architectures from bowed cymbals and scraped percussion, establishing an overwhelmingly tense and deeply introspective atmosphere.
