WIREFORKS (WITH DEREK BAILEY)

Unlike his pairing with Sergei Kuriokhin, where the Russian keyboardist was able to keep Henry Kaiser's drive to experiment endlessly in check, here Kaiser joins up with guitarist Bailey to create an almost an hour and a quarter of guitar mayhem.

Rather than any structured songs, Kaiser and Bailey pretty much stick to making random strange noises and unrelated notes in this set of thirteen duets. While I don't mind listening to these pices singularly on occasion, trying to take in the entire album at once gets tedious. But these are two great avant garde guitarists, in a pairing you will never hear again.
