On "The Specter of Genius", two Berlin-based players whose influences encompass Punk Rock and Heavy Metal as well as Free Improv and contemporary notated music offer their variations on the theme of guitar/drum-units like the famous Derek Bailey/Steve Noble "Out of the Past" album. Recorded about a decade after the Bailey-Noble meeting, the improvisations by self-taught guitarist Olaf Rupp and drummer Michael Wertmüller, who studied music intensively in Berne and Amsterdam, differ from the other CD due to the drummer’s larger kit and Rupp’s use of both acoustic and electric guitars.
Distortion and reverb are some of the few additions to his muscular interface when Rupp uses his electric guitar. His echoing surfaces on “E_2” are so fortissimo and speedy, for example, that the textures that the drummer slams from his kit are regularized to such an extent that they could be coming from a drum machine.
Ok. Maybe it's a bit long - but still: It's amazing !

Thank you for posting this. I am really interested in hearing it. It is often hard to locate these recordings. I just got the Baily/Noble record as a legal download. Anyone looking for that can get it from I tunes.
Hey slovenlyeric, you are welcome. It is as hard to know about these recordings as to locate them, yes. I still hope that people who are interested in these niches find their ways to buy & support the artists. I always recommend to check the artist's sites. cheaper for the customer - more $ for the artist... many greetings !
