Sharp's mastery of extended timbres and his ability to blend compositional structure with improvisational freedom make this album a standout in his discography. The live setting adds an extra layer of excitement, capturing the spontaneity and unpredictability of a live performance.

Fans of Elliott Sharp's work will appreciate the album's innovative approach and the opportunity to experience a historic live performance.

No Wave Masterpiece

I've got both versions of this album, 'cause it's truly an outstanding record. You'll find No Wave at its finest here. It's filled with instrumental, tormented soundscapes crafted from polyrhythmic frenzy and electric string harmonics, geometric jazz patterns, and creative instrument manipulation by a group of brilliant, distinctive musicians, plus three of the most incredible NYC drummers of our time. If you're a fan of No Wave artists like Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham, DNA, or even Arnold Dreyblatt, this record is an absolute must-have.
