Description
Wewantsounds presents this reissue of
Brion Gysin”s cult avant-funk album produced by
Ramuntcho Matta in the early ”80s. The hugely influential Gysin who, with his friend
William Burroughs, was revered by the likes of
David Bowie,
Brian Jones,
Laurie Anderson, and
Genesis P-Orridge, is accompanied here by Matta — on his return from a two-year spell in New York — and French post punk stalwarts
Yann Le Ker (from the group
Modern Guy) and
Frederic Cousseau (from
Suicide Romeo) plus special guests including
Don Cherry,
Elli Medeiros,
Lizzy Mercier Descloux,
Caroline Loeb, and Senegalese drummer
Prosper Niang (Xalam). This is the first time the album is reissued on vinyl, newly remastered from the original tapes, augmented with bonus tracks and a two-page color insert featuring new liner notes by Gysin scholar
Jason Weiss.
