This is PUNK JAZZ - harder and louder than anybody before or since! The final full-length by this mythical Swiss unit upped the ante on their previous releases by adding a cold, harsh electronic edge for maximum destruction.

The definitive 2008 French Savage Land reissue of this totally devastating punk-jazz classic from 1994, remasted by Weasel Walter and including extensive liner notes by Alternative Press editor Jason Pettigrew. This is some really intense shit: fractured anti-rock rhythms, relentlessly squealing saxophone and scuzzy guitar/electronics filter squelch that combine like a dissonant piledriver, obliterating everything in its way.

This is a 5 star document of everything that is destructive and intense about music!
