MOORE, THURSTON - Klangfarbenmelodie (Sealed) (LP)

First time on vinyl. Originally released on CD only in New Zealand by the Dead C's Bruce Russell on Corpus Hermeticum . Edited by Bruce Russell for this Glass Modern release. New liner notes by Bruce Russell. 180g white vinyl. "A 1995 release from the famed Sonic Youth guitarist, this recording sees him paired with free jazz drummer Tom Surgal for a blistering noise set. The listener should not expect the sweet psychedelic pop of his Psychic Hearts album of the same year; rather, Moore explores his interest in freeform improvisation on this live set recorded in 1994. The recording is lo-fi, but that adds to its candid charm, as his guitar thrashing reaches peaks of noise only hinted at in early Sonic Youth. Moore's guitar is so distinct, however, that many parts here could be mistaken for a live Sonic Youth recording from that band's more heady and chaotic '80s period".
