This instrumental album is so good that I am speechless. It bears repeated listens and careful study. The songs unfold in a unique manner. Ginn is the master of riff, repetition, and variance. Who else would or have attempted the punk/free jazz fusion? Zorn? The great thing about Ginn (I focus on him but the rhythm section's phenomenal) is that he come to the freejazz thing from the punk side, not the reverse. He is one of the few people who is doing something innovative within the rock music structure. And, of course, he has so much to say musically he doesn't let words get in the way. It really doesn't get any better than this. On one cut for example (cut 3? I write from memory), he spends 5 minutes working up to one riff--the riff that is the basic of the cut, plays it once through and immediately transmutes it and moves on . . . . Long live Ginn!
