Reviving his legendary experimental moniker, Mayo Thompson collaborated with members of Pere Ubu to forge a disjointed, highly intellectual response to the punk explosion. The album utilizes aggressively angular guitars and fragmented rhythms to construct a chaotic, challenging sonic landscape reflecting deep political anxieties. It serves as a fascinating bridge linking 1960s avant-garde psychedelia with the cynical deconstructionism of late-70s post-punk.
