keeping the Qbico coming to the masses, pt. 4


ok, this next one will be a much easier to stomache release for most of you. Coffee's "Pissing Contest" sounds just like that: a free jazz ensemble who are trying to outdo each other in making a sonic bombardment that will destroy your sentiments of what you think traditional jazz should be. this is truly free music, with horns being echoed and overdubbed, and a drummer that sounds like he's playing two kits (though that could be the echo...).

the b-side, however, is a MUCH different affair, being mostly electronic. there are synthesizers here bleeping around and making a repetetive siren-esque moan that will fry your brains just enough to make you think the horns are synth as well, and then when you can't think anymore they fuck with your head EVEN MORE with scrapes and scratches and reversed recordings.

this is a truly strange record. it's pretty awesome though, and really pretty to look at (besides the black and white cover). for fans of noisy free jazz freakouts.
