Anal Magic & Rev. Dwight Frizzell - Beyond The Black Crack

„Beyond The Black Crack” Anal Magic i pastora Dwighta Frizzella to eksperymentalny album znany z unikalnego i przełomowego podejścia do muzyki elektronicznej. Wydany w 1976 roku album przez długi czas pozostawał kultowym, mało znanym zjawiskiem, częściowo ze względu na swoją oryginalną, limitowaną edycję. Album został w dużej mierze nagrany w nietypowych miejscach, od fabryk po unikatowe miejsca, takie jak piramida naprzeciwko grobu Harry'ego Trumana. Muzyka to kolaż free jazzu, elektroniki i ambientu, radykalnie zmontowany z wykorzystaniem eksperymentalnych technik montażu taśm Frizzella. Rezultatem jest mroczny i oszałamiający pejzaż dźwiękowy, który zachęca do wielokrotnego słuchania. „Beyond The Black Crack” jest chwalony przez entuzjastów awangardy i nowoczesnej muzyki eksperymentalnej jako jedno z najbardziej niezwykłych doświadczeń słuchowych w tym gatunku.
