Anyone know this album? I listened to it for the first time today. I think it's amazing. I've listened to lots of Fred Frith but I was still blown away by what he could get out of his guitar on this, the soaring singing feedback tones over ambient washes and the noise shards and the more 'normal' soloing, the range of timbre and dynamics he achieved. Bill Laswell's ridiculous 80s bass tone actually serves as a nice timbral foil. I don't think I've heard an album before that achieves qualities of both totally falling-apart post-no-wave-ness as well as supreme prog bombast.
