GUITAR TRIO IS MY LIFE!

"Utilizing multiple electric guitars and a single chord, 1977's "Guitar Trio" is composer Rhys Chatham's signature work, and a euphoric, minimal-punk classic. It's an inspired amalgamation - the droning, shimmering harmonics of John Cale and Tony Conrad fused with the power and fury of The Ramones - that had a meteoric impact, placing Chatham at the forefront of the burgeoning No Wave scene. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this release, Chatham mustered an all-star guitar army for the 3xCD set, featuring members of Sonic Youth, Swans, Tortoise, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Hüsker Dü, Modern Lovers, Die Kreutzen, and more. "[Rhys Chatham] is one of noise rock's founding fathers. Without him, there would be no Sonic Youth, no Jesus And Mary Chain, no My Bloody Valentine...he remains a towering figure among six-string aficionados" - Chicago Tribune."
