Elliott Sharp - NOTS




from wiki
"Elliott Sharp (b. Cleveland, Ohio, March 1, 1951) is an American multi-instrumentalist, composer, and performer.

A key figure in the avant-garde and experimental music scene in New York City for over thirty years, Sharp has released over sixty-five recordings ranging from blues, jazz, and orchestral music to noise, no wave rock, and techno music. He pioneered ways of applying fractal geometry, chaos theory, and genetic metaphors to musical composition and interaction, as well as the use of computers in live improvisation with his Virtual Stance project of the 1980s. He is an inveterate performer, playing mainly guitar, saxophone and bass clarinet. Sharp has led many ensembles over the years, including the blues-oriented Terraplane and Orchestra Carbon."

NOTS is from 1982 and is on noted indie label Glass records (Spacemen 3, Pulp) and is quite strange, a mix of "indie" and improvised style jazz i suppose. I did think it was strange till i heard a couple of his other albums actually, and found its actually one of the more saner accessible albums of his.
