HAPPY NEW YEAR Live From The Back Part Of The Flag CD
Amanita Records (French import)

Bererk free-jazz noise splatter from Ron Anderson (MOLECULES),drummer/vocalist Glenn Sorvisto (ex WOO),and 99 Hooker on electrified sax, recorded live across France in 1995 (with one track recorded in San Francisco). The trio gets epileptic with 15 improvised panic attacks, sometimes slipping into a narcoleptic dirge, but mostly blaring away, bright technicolor smears of trumpet and sax dueling backed by stretched-out tape sludge, retardo bass guitar squiggle, and grunting,ranting, totally incoherent vocals. This album actually pretty much heads straight into total noisecore territory for the most part, but driven by 99 Hooker's spastic sax blurt, and there is some actual muscianship at work here, so it's not just full-on blasting chaos. More like drowsy Anal Cunt jamming with an overcaffeinated Albert Ayler. Thoroughly absurd hyperkinetic jazz/prog/noise that fits right between your Flying Luttenbachers and Ruins discs.
