Editor’s info:
Diskaholics Anonymous Trio is Thurston Moore and Jim O'Rourke from Sonic Youth and the Swedish free jazz icon Mats Gustafsson. The album was recorded live at Ystads Teater, Sweden, October 6. 2002. The mix and postproduction was done by O`Rourke. With Thurston Moore on guitars, Jim O`Rourke on synth and Mats Gustafsson on sax, the trio creates a pulsing, massive and monumental sound. Free-jazz, noise, electronic ambience, Tony Conrad 60`s style loft-minimalism, drone music and punk all mixed. The result of these three titans clashing together is an intense blow-out. Raw, grandiose and brutally beautiful.

The trio released their first self titled album in 2001 on Crazy Wisdom/Universal. Weapons of Ass Destruction, their second album, will be released worldwide on Smalltown Superjazzz (the free jazz/avant/noise imprint of Smalltown Supersound). Mats Gustafsson has previously worked with Sonic Youth, when he wrote the piece "Hidros 3" exclusively for them, something which lead to the release with the same title on Smalltown Supersound. Gustafsson has also played with the band live many times and has worked with Jim O'Rourke since the mid-nineties, when he became a central part of the Chicago jazz scene.

opis dystrybutora:
"...Diskaholics Anonymous Trio to elektryzujące spotkanie luminarzy sceny ponadgatunkowej improwizacji: Mats Gustafsson, Thurston Moore i Jim O'Rourke. Ci dwaj ostatni to członkowie
legendarnego Sonic Youth, bez którego udziału historia muzyki rockowej byłaby niepełna. Skład uzupełnia jedna z centralnych postaci skandynawskiej sceny free-jazzu Mats Gustafsson, uchodzący za jednego z najbardziej otwartych saksofonistów jazzowych. Ich muzyka to elektroakustyczna mieszanka
avant/free jazzu, noise'u i avant-rocka, oscylująca gdzieś pomiędzy dokonaniami Evana Parkera, Painkillera i Merzbowa. I choć płyta jest niezwykle mroczna, pełna saksofonowych pisków i
generowanych przez elektroniczne instrumentarium dźwięków wciąga jak mało która..."
