Learn to Talk

The debut release from the avant-garde duo of Fred Frith and Tom Cora was meticulously constructed using crude multi-tracking and homemade instrumentation. Playing simultaneously as a 'one-man band' each, they fused complex Rock in Opposition methodologies with frenetic tape manipulation and political soundbites. It stands as a brilliant, fiercely independent document of New York's downtown experimental scene.
