Symbiosis of two friends since kindergarten, founding members of legendary experimental noise monstrosity Borbetomagus play improvisations here with the bells of their saxophones stuck together. The "bells together" novelty is one thing - it creates really uncanny harmonics when you do this, not unlike the strange effects born of related techniques in Inuit Eskimo vocal music... well, its not really like those sounds either. What's really nice here is the long tradition of sound experimentation that these two guys bring to their improvisations. There's a real musical symbiosis here — something most often missing from late 20th Century "experimental" music. It doesn't matter if you're sick of saxophones, that's not what this is. There's a 'third voice' that erupts that you've never heard before, and these guys learned how to speak in its tongue & guide its phrases. It's pretty remarkable.

This recording documents one door of experimental music that was kicked open in 1985 and has just been left there like that ever since. Who knows how many other things like this could happen in improvised music?
