Recorded by four veteran guitar deconstructivists, Mmmr buzzes, shrieks, squeals, hums, scrapes, and explodes into silence. It is not for the faint of heart or for those who have little tolerance for musical noise; Mmmr is an extended improvisational workout with three tracks that organically evolve, adding additional members as the tracks progress. The blues-influenced American improv guitarist Loren MazzaCane Connors and the lesser-known (in the States) French avant-garde guitarist Jean-Marc Montera play on all cuts and team up with Sonic Youth's guitar heroes Thurston Moore (on tracks 2 and 3) and Lee Ranaldo (on track 3) for a textural, evolving soundscape of six-stringed craziness that's surprisingly subtle. Granddaddy "American primitive" guitarist John Fahey is a fan of this 1997 recording; he's been quoted as saying that "it is beautiful and complex and, most importantly, it breathes.... As good and as moving as anything you'll hear this year." Hear, hear. --Mike McGonigal
