Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Bill Laswell, this record revitalized the career of the pioneering free-jazz guitarist by placing his incendiary playing within a heavy, groove-oriented rock context. Sharrock's signature abrasive, slide-guitar noise attacks are powerfully anchored by dual drum kits and driving funk-metal basslines.
