here's the too-kind AMG review for this party-clearer:
TWO STARS (!!!)
The first of four similarly titled releases over a two-year period, 1993's Godspeed the Static is Trumans Water at their loosest and most formless. Seemingly recorded live in the studio, these four meandering jams have individual moments that are quite interesting — a lengthy chunk of "Kick Penmanship" is taken up by a clanging, staccato guitar riff and stuttering snare drum, sounding like some sort of bizarre cross between the Nihilist Spasm Band and Spike Jones & His City Slickers — but they're so completely shapeless and random that they defy the attention spans of even the most dedicated noise rock fans. Conceptually intriguing but a bear to listen to (particularly the endless closer, "California Lies," which includes what sounds like a battery of violins in the hands of mentally challenged grade-school students), Godspeed the Static is only for the most die-hard noise freaks. — Stewart Mason 1. Sweet Sister Gay (Trumans Water) - 12:57 2. Kick Penmanship (Trumans Water) - 7:15 3. Shower Stopper Shower Stopper Shower... (Trumans Water) - 5:10 4. California Lies (Trumans Water) - 16:39
IIRC, Rick Fork of Drive Like Jehu joined in for the four guitar skronk onslaught "California Lies". won't you take me to, a skronky town?

this is a fucking masterpiece butt here he does play with silence quite a bit whereas what its prob being talked abt is a noise assault at all times during the length of the CD.
In that case metal machine would be OK but there's too much drone, which is something to hold onto and lessens the assault. Watashi dake is only that one track but the other tracks are proper type songs so its not the whole CD.
when you say 'shronk' that tells me a saxophone is involved. so masayuki takayanagi/karou abe's mass projection would quality BUT after 18 mins on the second track takayanagi drops out for a min or two and abe comes down a bit (before they resume again). But for most of the 50 mins its wonderful execution.
Snuff Jazz is the only that would be a proper ans to the q: two sides where it just doesn't fucking stop. but that's an LP!
