I guess double CD's of full-on mania are fairly common now, but at the time this package seemed pretty ambitious/nuts. Art Ensemble offers up 4 tracks which progress from hypnotic to bizarre to intricate to ambient in that order. There is some fine free-playing here, shot through with a roughness that keeps it visceral. Disc 2 takes a near random look through the Rake archives and turns up ear-splitting noise rock, tuneful jams, incompetent guitar tuning, found sounds, long stretches stolen from other people's records, an angry confrontation with a man about the parking lot of the Herndon Rec Center, 10 seconds of Dylan's "Stuck Inside Mobile w/The Memphis Blues Again," and that's just for starters. Disc 1: 6 tracks, 67 minutes, Disc 2: 75 tracks, 74 minutes. The 7" is Carl Moller’s masterful deconstruction of an entire disc on each side, plunderphonics style. Dense. Fine hand screened cover by V, and just a few left. Of course, there's been just a few left for a while now, but it's still a fact, bro!
