Reissue of the Rift 1983 DBL LP. Locus Solus was made up of small groups of Zorn's closest contemporaries at the time: Christian Marclay, Peter Blegvad, Arto Lindsay, Anton Fier, Wayne Horvitz, Ikue Mori, M.E. Miller. Subtitled "In search of improvised song form," this is supremely disorienting sonic chatter, but still quite listenable; watching this one waft though your speaker cones can't help but give you a feeling of superiority towards the human race's numerous inferior forms.
