Free improv duets between Chadbourne and others (including Derek Bailey and John Zorn). The sound quality is horrible, and most of this is, to put it simply, boring ("In Search of Carl la Fong"). "Red Lightning, Pt. 1," the lone duet with Zorn, is somewhat reminiscent of Zorn's Classic Guide to Strategy, featuring bizarre noises-- including squawks and a motor starting-- interspersed with silence. It's the strongest track here, if only because of the curiosity in what strange sound will pop out at you next.
