Album Notes & Community Reviews

Consisting of a single, forty-three-minute composition spread across three movements, the veteran British ensemble delivers a staggering display of complex instrumental interplay. 'Obscure Knowledge' utilizes dissonant saxophone, driving basslines, and hyper-active drumming to construct an incredibly dense, constantly evolving rock symphony. The record is a highly demanding, profoundly noisy, and undeniably virtuosic avant-prog triumph.
