Beyond the Black Crack

(Paradigm Discs - P06) CD $14.25

Beyond the Black Crack was originally released in mono in an edition of 200 copies (Cavern Custom 1976) in commemoration the First Annual End of the World Celebration, November 18, 1976. This little known classic, one of the most unique listening experiences in modern experimental music, was conceptualized by legendary musician, filmmaker, Doctor of Metaphysics and minister in the Universal Church of Life. Recorded between 1974 and 1976 in locations as diverse as factories and the pyramid opposite Harry Truman's grave site (as well as more "conventional" concert settings), Beyond the Black Crack is a dark, dizzying and exhilarating journey through free jazz, electronics and environmental sound, all shattered by Frizzell's radical tape editing. This CD adds further material to the original LP: a previously unheard suite from 1977 called "The Wandering Madness of Basilea" and more unreleased material from the Black Crack sessions.
