"Chris Cutler: electrified drums/flotsam. Fred Frith: electric guitar/voice/jetsam. Recorded live April 16th, 1999 at Interzona -- Verona, Italy. "There must have been something special going on in Verona last April. By far the most aggressive of their duo albums, it leads us via howling fuzz guitar & machine gun percussion into walls of post-rock improvisation, obsessive industrial rhythms, and levels of excitement rarely generated by two people on a stage.""
