Beat '94, January 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Envisioning (Audio CD)
This is a wailer, deserving high volume listening, in both senses. It's NOT ambient noise--it wants the front and center treatment, mixing free drumming with guitar plonking to lay down a base for some beat rhyming from Ranaldo and Hooker. Turn it up and pay attention, and imagine yourself there.

Dystopian blues never sounded so good, December 15, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Envisioning (Audio CD)
This CD contains some of the best ecstatic-noise excursions performed by Ranaldo. Hooker's free-jazz drumming makes more sense as propolsion for Lee's fluxuating odessey. The only draw-back is that there are times of unnecessary self-indulgence(ex. "Strike!")
An interesting note is that this CD was recorded right after Cobain's suicide, where the music does reflect the bewilderment and unfullilled prospects of 1994 America.
