Violence Jazz - VD in Modern Jazz

Debut CDR from 2006 by a clearly Borbetomagus/Hijokaidan-inspired group of surly students from Berkeley School of Music, also the first release on band member Luke Moldof's Razors and Medicine label. By day, these guys studied free jazz and improvisation with Joe Maneri and Joe Morris; by night, they made ugly noise and released it on ugly CDRs. Two members of this band, Luke Moldof and Jesse Ward, would go on to form power electronics band Craniopagus. Later, Moldof's compositional brilliance would be made clear on solo recordings that came out under the name Stillbirth and in Perispirit, his unpredictable duo with Ricardo Donoso.
