Album Notes & Community Reviews
Emerging from the same underground scene as Saccharine Trust, Joe Baiza's ensemble delivers an entirely instrumental fusion of aggressive post-punk and avant-garde jazz. The record balances the rhythmic intensity of noise rock with loose, funk-inflected improvisations. It stands as a unique, highly technical artifact of the diverse SST Records roster during the late 1980s.
