2004 repress of this 1995 release; the entire Branca catalog on Atavistic is now available again! Atavistic has quietly erected the near complete recorded works of Glenn Branca, whose vision of guitar-generated power-symphonic sound is, in simple terms, one of the most exhilarating and important musical gestures of the contemporary era. First issue of this '82 performance; 10 guitars (including Thurston & Lee on special Branca-engineered "mallet guitars"), plus the massive force of Zev's bass drum & metal.

Symphony No. 6 (Devil Choirs at the Gates of Heaven)
Label:
ATAVISTIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
ALP 010CD
1993 CD release and one of Mr. Branca's absolute masterworks: 10 guitars and bass & drums, beautifully studio-recorded. Originally released by Blast First in 1989. From the liner notes by Tim Holmes: "If one piece of music could possibly be all music, then you're holding it in your hands. I have played this album thousands of times since 1989 & it's still metamorphosing, trillions of layers pealing away translucent sound vibrating new electric worlds the hammer and hum of the infernal/celestial engine...the ubermusik of the spheres, as terrible and gorgeous as desire."

Title:
Symphony #5
Label:
ATAVISTIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
ALP 015CD
2008 repress. Subtitled "Describing Planes Of an Expanding Hypersphere". Recorded in 1984 but held up in a post-production stasis until now, this is music for 5 guitars, mallet guitar, violin, drums, bass, keyboards, that is being touted as the "most dense, cacophonous Branca symphony yet." "Glenn's music gets quite often inaccurately described as wall-of-sound/noise/guitars/whatever. A wall exists for the purpose of containment. 'Symphony No. 5' is expansive beyond limits, smashing the wall (at least sonically) between this dimension & all others. There is quite audibly the garblings of the voices of alien intelligences banging at the doors of our world as we dream of theirs."

The World Upside Down
Label:
ATAVISTIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
ALP 016CD
2004 repress. Branca's long anticipated foray into orchestral music. Recorded in Nov, 1990. "Performed by The New York Chamber Sinfonia, 'The World Upside Down' is a masterpiece of bright, organic structures & tones tempered in the eerie darkness typified by Branca's best work...Sonically and emotionally boundless, seemingly comprised of interplanetary musics from the netherworlds, 'The World Upside Down's celestial nature will especially appeal to fans of Branca's crystalline 'Symphony No. 3' recording."

Indeterminate Activity of Resultant Masses
Label:
ATAVISTIC
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
ALP 046CD
"Long rumored, long-awaited and essentially first-time issue of this incendiary Branca masterwork, recorded in 1981 at NYC's Radio City Studios -- during the peaked out early era of Glenn's 'Guitar Army' ensembles -- and shortly after the release of
The Ascension
EPon 99 Records. Featuring contributions from soon-to-be Sonic Thurston Moore & Lee Ranaldo, as well as Branca mainstays Craig Bromberg, Barbara Ess, Jeffrey Glenn, Sue Hanel, David Rosenbloom and Ned Sublette,
Indeterminate
also contains two other pieces: John Cage's infamous anti-Branca interview with Wim Mertins, captured at Chicago's Navy Pier back in 1982; and a gorgeous, previously unreleased composition 'Harmonic Series Chords,' performed by The New York Chamber Sinfonia in 1989. This potent, apocryphal missing link in the Master's discography has finally been made available for public consumption!"
