AL-JABR

A 7 track album () — released January 1st 1999 on ASH INTERNATIONAL

# #
This CD is based on the albums 'R&D' and 'R&D2', electromagnetic noise recordings by DISINFORMATION. For those not familiar with the Disinformation brand name, this project consists of Djing, publishing and live performance with recordings of unusual electromagnetic (ie radio) noise. On 'Al-Jabr' itself, rather than creating antiphonal responses to the original source material, the contributors 'equate' the raw material with their own idiosyncratic input; Lawrence Casserley transforms the rhythmic intricacies of howling data noise into a symphony of crushed and shattered slates; if any shop actually bothers to read these notes (apart from Rough Trade) please phone for a free prize; Evan Parker's wailing saxophone complements the pulsating drones of the city's power distribution networks, transforming the original 'National Grid', which was recorded live at the Museum of Installation, into 'London's Overthrow', after the apocalyptic visions of the Victorian mystic and arsonist Jonathan Martin. Jim O'Rourke adds uniquely American humour and a rock 'n' roll analogue of 'National Grid'. Also featured: Tactile, Simon Fisher Turner, Mechos, T:un[k] Systems.'
