ANARCHIST REPUBLIC OF BZZZ featuring ARTO LINDSAY, MARC RIBOT, SEB EL ZIN, MIKE LADD, SENSATIONAL
ANARCHIST REPUBLIC OF BZZZ is the exceptional and ephemeral reunion of two cult guitarists (MARC RIBOT & ARTO LINDSAY) and two inspired
and engaged rappers (SENSATIONAL & MIKE LADD), with SEB EL ZIN at the helm. The group displays a level of urgency too rare nowadays. These
five musicians break free from all the music rules and transcend all styles. This isn't free jazz per se, nor free improvisation or dub or hip-hop -
actually, the ANARCHIST REPUBLIC OF BZZZ'S sonic manifesto is simultaneously all that. This album is released exclusively on LP, in a
scandalous sleeve designed by Kiki Picasso
...according to bebe.
Founded in early 2000s, the A.R.of Bzzz brings together Arto Lindsay,Mike Ladd, Marc Ribot, Sensational and its leader Seb El Zin at theguitar and composition. Claiming the influence of the kabbalist AbdulVector Von Hassid, Seb el Zin distills on the first record of his sonicnation a raging mix of sharp noisy post-no-wave guitars and urgent rap.Some electro colour also emanates from his 'on the edge' mix. KikiPicasso's cover places the recording in a geopolitical context whereWilliam Burroughs drops acid with Ben Laden.
