Nah, don't! Listen to the track 'Diamond Sea' from Washing Machine and let 
your
thoughts just float away. Amazing track. And loads of others of course. 
It's one
of these groups many people don't get until a divine power someday strikes
and everything falls in place and gets comprehensible. :-)

I saw Peter Brötzmann in the group Sonore togheter with Ken Vandermark
and Mats Gustafsson
a month ago. Amazing freeform stuff. Mats Gustafsson have also played
together with Sonic Youth
and released a few record with Thurston and Jim O'Rourke as
Diskaholics Anonymous Trio. Also great
freeform stuff.
