THRILL JOCKEY is continuing to supply us record nerds with gospel by way of a much needed reissue series covering the legendary back catalog of LIGHTNING BOLT, with the second entry being their diamond in the rough self-titled debut. Unlike later albums, which lean heavily into their hypnotic, PHILIP GLASS & STEVE REICH inspired groove sessions, the lovingly nicknamed "yellow album" represents The Two Brians at their most raw, featuring extended & winding improvisations that recall SUN RA compositions moreso than the hyper-metal we've come to know. This leads to an absolutely head spinning collection of tunes that represent LB at their most mystic: before they became the legends that shaped an entire generation of weirdos, they were just two weirdos themselves, ascending to a plane previously unaccessible before & opening the gates for the rest of us. This 2LP reissue includes the bonus tracks from the BEYOND rare companion tape "ZONE"!!!
