Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiled from a cache of late-1960s private recordings, this second volume released by BYG Actuel showcases the Arkestra's most abrasive and unrestrained free jazz excursions. The performances utilize dense, conducted improvisations and heavy percussion to construct a highly surreal, cosmic sonic environment.
