5.0 out of 5 stars The shot heard 'round the East Village?, December 21, 2000

This release blew the doors off my perception of music when I first heard it back in the early 80's. While the DMX programming sounds somewhat dated, this over looked classic demands a re- listen. Featuring a no wave supergroup consisting of Anton Fier, Arto Lindsay, Bill Laswell, John Zorn, Jamaladeen Tacuma, David Moss, Michael Beinhorn, Fred Frith and others I can't recall, this group threw noise, funk, hip hop, sound collage and a couple other influences into a "post rock stew" that few groups have equalled since. A few of the many highlights include the avant funk of "Clean Plate", the pulverizing groove of "I.D." and Zorn's bird call solo on "Monday Night". Put down your cd's from all those Chicago deep thinkers and give this a spin.

This band came out of the extended improv and soundscape scene around the basement of a pet store (Exotic Equatic) and the harmolodic scene. The band came together after Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society and James Chance and the Contortions but before Massacre. I hitched down to NYC to catch the band's debut at the Public Theater (they hadn't released the album yet) and the sound was mindblowing. Anton Fier locked in the funk with Bill Laswell and Jamaaladeen Tacuma and David Moss, Fred Frith and John Zorn provided a screeching cacophony to float on top. Arto Lindsay provided blasts of detuned guitar, vocal sounds/words and kept his glasses from falling off his nose.

This record captures that time yet remains timeless (despite the drum programs). Goes well with Laswell's Baselines and Material's first album.

4.0 out of 5 stars A one-off jewel, February 27, 2010

This is a unique item in Anton Fier's (and Golden Palomino's) discography. Doesn't resemble any other Palominos record, instead belongs to the same bag as early Jamaaladeen Tacuma records and James Blood Ulmer's harmolodic funk (esp. Music Revelations Ensemble CDs) and the more aggressive Bill Laswell projects. It's all about basses and drums attacking full force, creating a weirdly polyrythmic funk-rock groove, on top of which disturbing effects and noise float.

Very good.
