Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning from an extended period of obscurity, the free-jazz pioneer delivered this towering, entirely unaccompanied solo guitar album. Employing extensive overdubbing and massive walls of distortion, Sharrock shreds the boundaries between spiritual jazz improvisation and abrasive, psychedelic noise-rock.
