Ron Geesin - Right Through (1977)

Queasily playful experimental pieces by Scottish composer Ron Geesin. A series of interconnected but distinct movements consisting of layered synths, dissonant guitars, noise-addled tape loops, field recordings, musique concrète, spoken word, demonic choirs, and more. I came to Geesin, as I'm sure many have, through his work with Pink Floyd -- in addition to arranging the symphonic elements of "Atom Heart Mother", he collaborated with Roger Waters for Music from The Body -- and was pleasantly surprised to learn that his work outside of those collaborations was just as bewildering, but with a greater sense of absurdist purpose, maybe?
