Album Notes & Community Reviews
An incredibly forward-thinking free improvisation session uniting Joe McPhee's assortment of brass and woodwind instruments with John Snyder's ARP 2600 synthesizer. The album operates entirely outside of standard melodic or rhythmic structures, creating a stark, alien, and deeply meditative electronic landscape.
