"An unsung classic of the avant-garde music scene, No Age is, on the surface, simply a compilation of experimental instrumental music. The difference, though, is that most of the musicians who participated on the album came not from the jazz world, but from punk rock or an underground even the most adventurous listeners rarely visited. It's easy to forget that for most people in 1987, instrumental rock music often meant little more than recycled '60s surf. With the increasingly widespread popularity of Black Flag and Hüsker Dü, however, Greg Ginn and SST were in a unique position to shatter that impression, and did so admirably with this double-LP set. Though SST is a California label, there is little evidence of the reverbed Stratocasters and dance party music of old. Instead, the listener finds a cornucopia of melodic, rhythmic, harmonic, and most importantly, sonic textures that constantly challenge and surprise."
