This album was part of a great reasonably priced series. I have the Cream, Focus and Taste editions, do you have any others Andy?

Sorry David, get it now👍
Naked City - Absinthe
Extract from review
Joey Baron plays bags of dry leaves, fishing reels and buckshot. Bill Frisell solos on a microtonal guitar. Wayne Horvitz samples everything from crickets to Giacinto Scelsi. Fred Frith does what he does best. Zorn doesn’t even touch the saxophone."
The final track, “…Rend Fou”, is a six-minute recording of Frisell and Frith running their guitar jacks over the inputs of their guitars.
Sometimes you have to play it as it lays.

The Floyd have just dropped a dozen previously unreleased “live albums” on streaming services. All are from 1970-72 and most are of bootleg quality. They appear to be official, so they are doing it presumably as a copyright thing. This is one of them. Good performance though I can’t say it’s high fidelity.

One of those rare albums that mirrors, acknowledges and somehow transcends its roll call of influences.
I never knew it existed until later on when Shack came to some prominence in the 2000s.

I was intrigued by your description, so I went in search of the album. Unable to find Absinthe on Qobuz, instead I found this:
Naked City - Live in Quebec ‘88
Curiously, I suspect the same description could be applied to this one too!

I love anything Zorn, Frisell, Frith
Grand Guignol is another of my favorite Naked City albums.
