Album Notes & Community Reviews

British multi-instrumentalist Steve Beresford assembled a collection of highly eccentric, Dadaist free improvisations on this obscure solo release. 'The Bath of Surprise' incorporates toy instruments, aquatic field recordings, and disjointed musique concr猫te techniques to create a chaotic and deeply humorous avant-garde experience. It showcases his fiercely independent, anti-academic approach to experimental music.
