Dave Birchall - guitar, Andrew Cheetham - drums, Dylan Hughes - guitar, Nick Mitchell - guitar, Parashi - guitar, Rambutan - guitar, Edwin Stevens - guitar, Otto Willberg - bass

absolutely essential two volume collection with crazy HEITKOTTER esque artwork courtesy of SUNBURNED HAND's JOHN MOLONEY - both references work sonically as well -- DSDV are one of the preeminent "free rock" bands out there, cutting edge, tip of the spear, reconciling out-there free jazz- maybe think COLTRANE's ASCENSION- with pummeling heavy psych straddling BARDO POND and THE STOOGES -- the drummer and bassist maintain an in-and-out telepathic groove while six freaked out guitarists cut loose like almost nothin you've ever heard, a semi improvised yet well considered exposition of riffs - my god, it's full of riffs - prepare yourself for a hundred minute hurricane of mind-blowing finger-blistering bliss
