| 1997 release ; second solo album from alan licht (after the 1994 siltbreeze “sink the aging process” lp) ...
starts out with two impressively coruscating chunks of high-gain guitar demolitionry before receding into the album’s centerpiece “west twenty” (a 20-minute duet with mars’ lucy “china burg” hamilton fusing charlemagne palestine-lineage church organ held-tones with terry riley style bass clarinet) ... then a fine bit of solo scrabble overlaid on a field recording of a “hollerin’” competition & two further guitar blasters ...
alan’s playing (as always) is rich & full throughout ; always thought this a great disc that was unduly buried due to its somewhat ill-advised title ... each copy comes with the april 1997 issue of bruce russell’s “logopandocy” journal, in this case a 16-page back & forth with licht & russell that’s as fine a read as licht’s “an emotional memoir of martha quinn” ... |
