Beyond the Black Crack

This CD is a reissue off an incredibly obscure LP from 1976, and it documents a bizarre musical mix of jazz improvisation, electronics, and noise that makes the album a precursor to the mayhem of the Sun City Girls and Nurse With Wound.This group of misfits, lead by weirdo artisan Rev. Dwight Frizzell at the helm of the editing table, may bring comparisons of "Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table" by Nurse With Wound and the enigmatic Faust "Tapes," although neither avant-Europeans reach the surrealist peaks that this 1976 recording from did from Middle America. ~ Skip Jansen
