"A monster is born, a clash of the the titans! The new band of Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Terrie Ex (The Ex), Jim O'Rourke, Mats Gustafsson (Thing), Pall Nilssen-Love (Thing), & Massimo Pupillo (ZU). Recorded live on the OS Italian tour, September 2005 in Teatro Arisoto, Reggio Emilia, Italy, to be more specific. This is the first in a series of recordings from OS. Musically one can hear the obvious influences from early Sonic Youth & The Ex mixed with the Scandinavian free-jazz. But you can hear their many influences from Black Flag to drone rock to Albert Ayler to Boredoms to noise, punk, Dead C, Merzbow & '60s minimalism. This is 100% improvised rock. A monumental, raw and harsh beautiful out-rock masterpiece. Artwork by Kim Hiorthøy."
