***WASTELAND JAZZ ENSEMBLE is a staple in the world of destroyed music. With countless releases cataloged by a literal who's who in the field, (cassettes, CDrs and records on American Tapes, Troniks, New Forces, Oxen, Torn Light, Nashazphone and of course—there was a split 7" w/ Tiger Hatchery on Gilgongo), the duo of JON LORENZ and JOHN RICH occasionally expand their scathing, feedback-saturated reed work into a full ensemble. Here, as a 7 piece group including DYLAN POSA (guitar), EDWARD RICART (bass), MATTHEW REIS (electronics), RYAN JEWELL (percussion), and BRET NAGAFUCHI (percussion), there are textures and fractured forms throughout this high-volume chaos which calls to mind the work of Hijokaidan, as broadcast through Borbetomagus. A heavy and delightfully excruciating listen! 2xLP, gatefold with extensive liner notes by INZANE JOHNNY.
