Big Black / ATOMIZER

Atomizer is a wailing behemoth of assaultive Roland beats, Steve Albini and Santiago Durango’s clanging and whirring guitars, and new member Dave Riley’s lumberjack bass. Their musical invention went a couple steps further, most obviously on the warped-beyond-recognition guitars of ‘Passing Complexion’ and ‘Kerosene.’
The latter is undeniably Big Black’s brightest / bleakest moment, an epically roaming track that features an instantly memorable guitar intro, completely incapable of being accurately described by vocal imitation or physical gesture.

Remastered by Steve Albini and Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering.
