MASSACRE - Killing Time

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: ReR Megacorp / FR010 Release Year: 2005 Note: re-issue of first furious album from 1981 (plus 5 seven rare / previously unreleased tracks); FRED FRITHS first full group after HENRY COW Price (incl. 19% VAT): €14.00 More Info "Another legendary release. Fred's first full-on group after Henry Cow - following soon after his move to America - was a power trio with Bill Laswell (bass) and Fred Maher (drums), both from Giorgio Gomelsky's house band Zu - later to become Material. Massacre was loud and their pieces tended to be short, make their point and end. They used the time-honoured structure of bebop: an intricate head followed by high energy explorations of rhythm and timbre (aka noise). But the authority of playing skills remained very much to the fore - hence, perhaps, the term Punk Jazz which was applied at the time. However, this is unequivocally rock. A fully re-mastered reissue of the original Japanese release, plus the five extra tracks that appeared on the long out of print, Rec Dec CD and two, previously unreleased tracks, including The Shadows-Massacre, FBI."
