The music on this record was
entirely improvised in June of 1985 in Santa Monica, while Jack Brewer I
think wrote most of the words beforehand. Every component of this record is
perfect to me-- drummer Tony Cicero has improved since the last Sach. Trust
record, and he was no slouch then; Joe Baiza has always been great,
and here we get a chance to hear him jamming his hands off; Mike Watt
is probably my favorite bass player to listen to ever; Jack Brewer's words
and delivery get better with time as well. He is usually challenging and
far-reaching with his stuff. Put all these things together and you got one
hell of a record, with cool graphic execution on the cover to boot. The
Sachs have a habit of using real vague colors on their covers, god what
color is that? This is the kind of thing you (I at least) can put on over
and over and not get tired of it. Works far better than the October Faction
LP, which also was improvised-- more of a free-form jazz thing as opposed to
a full-bore freak out.
