Glenn Branca

The Ascension

Format: LP

Record Label: Superior Viaduct

Condition: New

* Reissue - originally released in 1981
* Glenn Branca's album The Ascension is a colossal achievement. After touring much of 1980 with an all-star band featuring four guitarists (Branca, fellow composers Ned Sublette and David Rosenbloom, and future Sonic Youth member Lee Ranaldo) along with Jeffrey Glenn on bass and Stephan Wischerth on drums, Branca took his war-torn group into a studio in Hell’s Kitchen to record five incendiary compositions. The Ascension effectively tears down the genre-ghettos between 20th century avant-garde and ecstatic rock 'n' roll.  On "The Spectacular Commodity," chiming, shimmering tones unfold into sinister drone-territory, while abrasive guitars and repetitive beats retain the raw primitivism of No Wave. The title track attains a densely packed, larger-than-life sound and (as author Marc Masters says best) "never stops climbing skyward." 
* Track Listing: Lesson No. 2 / The Spectacular Commodity / Structure / Light Field (In Consonance) / The Ascension
