As the first release on 99 Records, it lays out Branca’s radical guitar ideas across two side-long pieces that helped shape downtown New York art-punk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track is Branca at his most inviting, with a driving pulse and interlocking patterns that feel like Neu! meeting \u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Glass\u003c\/strong\u003e. It’s a thrilling blend of minimalism and momentum. On the flip, \u003cem\u003eDissonance\u003c\/em\u003e turns darker, leading guitar, keyboard, bass, drums and sledgehammer through a tense, industrial sprawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts impact was huge, reaching generations of young bands including \u003cstrong\u003eSonic Youth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSwans\u003c\/strong\u003e. A foundational record that still sounds bold, physical and brilliantly singular.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Superior Viaduct","offers":[{"title":"LP - Clear","offer_id":58256746938699,"sku":"R2694-9562","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0850051035229.webp?v=1787741712","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/lesson-no-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
