Album Notes & Community Reviews
Formed by key figures of the Rock in Opposition movement, Cassiber generated spontaneous compositions built from tape collages, free-jazz saxophone bleats, and jagged drum patterns. The album presents an intense, highly political clash of noise and structured song forms, challenging the boundaries of the avant-garde.
