Massacre - Love Me Tender

Fred Frith rarely disappoints, and this album is of no exception, as it's as exceptional an album as one would expect from his group Massacre. This album's hectic as usual, noisy, and has some great parts involving what I believe to be loops and delays for Frith. It's a fantastically textural album that's quite punky at points while delving into a jazzier area in others. It's been described as "an unholy union of The Shadows, Captain Beefheart, Derek Bailey and Funkadelic", so if any of that sounds good to you, I'd highly recommend this album. Also, if you're a Frith fan, check it out since I'd say it's some of his better work in years.
