This is an absolutely brilliant dark ambient/musique concrete/noise record from none other than Naked City, the band best known for chaotic, sub-one minute jazzcore compositions. Zorn and co. are masters of atmosphere. They even make the closer "...Rend Fou" interesting, when all it is self-admittedly "six minutes of Frisell and Frith running their guitar jacks over the inputs of their guitars." Best of all, none of these tracks go on too long. I question Zorn's somewhat out-of-place vocal part on "Verlaine: Part One," but aside from that, this is an utterly engrossing, phenomenal work. One of the best dark ambient records of all time.
