I was surprised to see this in a record store the other day and just bought it right away

i would have to agree with you, this is definitly one of his best (imo)

I have to agree. This might be the best noise album from Thurston.

hell yeah i like it too, it's good noise from T.

and i love the cover!

the cover is genius. does it compare to anything he has done before? Is it drone (sometimes that gets boring)? or is it more of a guitar attack session? does he strum the strings at all? :)

That's actually a pretty good review. Good meaning, I like the background the reviewer gives. And he makes a good point about T getting away from playing with the free jazz dudes, and getting more into the noise dudes.

To be honest, I was far more interested in the sets he'd do with say a drummer and saxaphone players, etc. Discs like PIECE FOR JETSUN DOLMA or THE PROMISE -- or omg -- HURRICANE FLOYD !!!!!

I own and love these three and don't forget Klangfarben, this is prime shit!:D

I dnt have that one. I have probably a dozen of T's freejazz outings. But that's note one of them. But I'm pretty sure that HURRICANE is my all time favorite (of the ones I have).

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt???? ????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
what are you waiting for?
Have you actually listened to it at all?

Definitely one of the albums of the year, along with SYR 8. The layers and structuring still blow me away with each listen.

I actually found this at a barnes and noble over the summer. I got it and actually really liked it.
I always feel weird praising noise though..

I got it and it didn't do it for me...

I feel weird praising noise too since I don't listen to it a lot but this record was really good, in my opinion.

By the way, B and N really had it?

Yes, they did. I was quite shocked and felt like I had to buy it, so that they might order other products in that vein. This is the same b & n that had Boris' pink and sunn o's black one.
