Album Notes & Community Reviews

An intense and entirely unpredictable collision of European free jazz titans and American avant-garde saxophonist Steve Lacy. The session is dominated by chaotic acoustic improvisation aggressively disrupted by the screeching, erratic synthesized noise of Michel Waisvisz's Cracklebox.
