This album was released in 1981 by Fred Frith, a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist who has been active in the avant/experimental scene since the 1970s with Henry Kaiser and Bob Ostertag. The album features guest appearances by various musicians including Bill Laswell and Fred Maher as Massacre. Frith's noisy, dissonant electric guitar and violin are the essence of his music, but there are also songs with an oriental feel and gimmicks reminiscent of Christian Marclay. This is a great album.
