Some words on this issue: BRANCA, GLENN: “The Ascension” (99 Records) (Record: Excellent/ Jacket: Excellent). Original US Pressing. “In 1982, the critic's reference points were the repetitious minimalism of Philip Glass and Steve Reich on one hand, and the "hard rock" of the Ramones on the other. These days it's hard to listen to Glenn Branca without thinking of Sonic Youth, whose two guitarists (Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo) both served tours of duties in Branca's guitar armies. That famous guitar sound, dissonant, jarring, clanging, ringing, chiming, heavenly, beautiful, which first appeared in The Static and the Theoretical Girls, would be used by Sonic Youth in more accessible manners to influence a new generation of alternative rockers. The Ascension features 5 compositions, none a moment too long or too short, none too leftfield to be inaccessible, none too mainstream to be boring. Just 40 minutes of sheer guitar bliss.” (CarParkRecords). A dead stone classic.
