Album Notes & Community Reviews

Although functioning as a collective unit, the ferocious debut of Borbetomagus was credited to its individual members. The record is a merciless, uncompromising assault of free jazz and harsh noise, driven by the confrontational dual-saxophone attacks of Jim Sauter and Don Dietrich. It established the group as terrifying pioneers in the American avant-garde noise underground.
