FRED MAHER / ROBERT QUINE

Basic

(Editions EG) Used LP $8.00

A mesmerizing no-frills celebration of the sound of the electric guitar from 1984 by ex-Material drummer and Voidoid guitar-master. “Over the pro forma mechanized rhythm patterns suggested by the title, the pair lay down their riffs and then Quine embroiders them,” explains Trouser Press, but “don’t look for memorable tunes or even clever tricks — this is a player’s album, amazingly pure, though not so simple.”
