This has nothing to do with how great the album is, but the whole hardcore thing with riots in LA was a.) very real and b.) pretty much over before 1987. However, a lot of punks were getting into "jazz" both around that time and earlier too. I am always a bit more than hesitant to equate violence with free improv of any kind, and often wonder if such an understanding might be a misunderstanding of the possibilities suggested by such music. I might even say that about hardcore punk, though. I am prone to finding the love in everything I guess.

Any other recommendations from the altar?

It's the closest sonic approximation of being eaten by errant machines. That whole passage you guys quoted is astounding and describes it far better than my attempt, but I just really love this record and am unaware of any peers it might have (more educated people are endowed by the internet with the power to educate me in successive comments).
