Released in 1982, this was the debut album by Everyman Band, a group formed by guitarist David Torn—known for collaborations beyond the boundaries of jazz with artists including Don Cherry, David Sylvian, and Bill Bruford—together with musicians associated with Lou Reed, including Michael Suchorsky on drums, Bruce Yaw on bass, and Martin Fogel on saxophone. Torn’s heavily driven guitar tears through the music, while the constantly shifting, break-filled arrangements create an intensely abstract strain of progressive jazz-rock. The distinctive production is equally fascinating, combining a solid, forceful sound with delicate and spacious sonic treatment. Original German pressing.
