L.A.F.M.S.[/b] (the Los Angeles Free Music Society)- Lowest Form Of Music[/b] Box Set
If you have the means, and are a fan of noise-avant-free-no wave (even), do yourself a favor and and put this on your xmas list.
I'm nearing the end of backing up my cd collection and finally got around to this box set. It still blows my mind after 7 years. A collection of an affiliated group of musicians who performed throughout the 70's-early 80's doing all manner of cut up tracks, acidic mantras and rambling, early sampler usage (some of it sounding like "Grey" kind of stuff), ridiculous jazz and exotic fusion pieces, and even art punk to blow away even the most dutiful trashbag helmet wearing nerd.
I forgot how good this collection was and wanted to share the love.
Checkout this crazy pic of the Le Forte Fours' pyramid headphones!
While we're on the subject, I was wondering if any of y'all fellow avant concrete heads could take a guess at who might have composed the sound effects that are being played over these tracks.
