Experimental and true to form

(4 out of 5 stars)
"Don't expect this one to sound like Sonic Youth, but you can rest assured that it's fantastic. Thurston Moore sent short improv recordings of guitar noodling to a large list of experimental musicians both well known and obscure. From that he culled this great compilation which includes dramatically different takes from Alec Empire, Derek Bailey, Stereolab, V/VM, Merzbow, Echo Park, Add N to X, Twisted Science, Blur, Mark Webber (Pulp)... the contributions are as different as these artists' own works. The vinyl has additional tracks not included on the CD and vice versa. Highly recommended."
