Noisextra
On Noisextra, Masonna condenses his infamous live violence into ultra‑compressed shock cells: all‑frequency spray, cut‑up screams and convulsive drop‑outs that feel less like tracks than controlled electrical injuries to the stereo field.
Nation Time
2022 Repress. "Joe McPhee's solo album, Tenor literally changed my life. The recording (one of his first for Hat Hut, in September 1976) displayed his unique ability to integrate unconventional sounds and extended techniques with pure melodicism, and it permanently altered my perspective on what the saxophone could do and what music could be. Nation Time was recorded six years earlier, but ideas regarding the integration of means and methods were already at the forefront of McPhee's approach to …

The release includes both…

In 1978 the …
