Long rumored first issue of incendiary masterwork rec. NYC 1981 during the peaked out early era of Guitar Army ensembles & shortly after the release of "Ascension" on 99 Records. Incl. contributions from THURSTON MOORE & LEE RANALDO of SONIC YOUTH plus mainstays Craig Bromberg, Barbara Ess, Jeffrey Glenn, Sue Hanel, David Rosenbloom & Ned Sublette. Incl. 2 bonus pieces: JOHN CAGE's infamous anti-Branca interview w/Wim Mertens at Chicago's Navy Pier in 1982 & a gorgeous previously unreleased piece "Harmonic Series Chords" performed by the NY Chamber Sinfonia in 1989. A potent apocryphal missing link
