"This double CD teams the renowned avant rock band Cassiber with Tokyo's finest, the now dis-banded Ground Zero, featuring Otomo Yoshihide. Disc one is the only available live recording by Cassiber of their one & only Tokyo performance, from 10/92. Disc two features a collection of sampled & remixed works with the source materials taken from disc one and put together by Ground Zero.This re-worked material is the final Ground Zero recording project." Cassiber are the trio of Christoph Anders, Chris Cutler and Heiner Goebbels. Their music is very much in the vein of old-school art-progressive and I don't doubt that some younger Ground Zero fans are going to be pretty much melted into oblivion attempting to listen to them (it's never been easy). Otomo's resampling, however, enters into some most pleasurable territory via some almost ambient recontexturalization and this is a fine bookend to the Ground Zero legacy. File under GZ and enjoy it while you can.
