Finally after more than an a decade, this seminal lexicon of lightning is again available for public consumption.

A veritable murderer's row of sonic titans, each at full strength: Peter Brotzmann on tenor; Sharrock on guitar; Laswell on 6-string bass; Jackson on drums. This lineup speaks for itself.

"You know, I really feel the exit quartet is getting stronger all the time... We've been through our 'power playing' period. I don't want to be typecast as just a 'blaster'. Now the shit is really wide open - it can go anywhere. The interaction is getting to be very sensitive - though i'm sure there'll always be some good old passion and violence. But there's a lot of potential still to be explored, and I hope we get the chance to explore it." - Brotzmann, 1990
