The album known as Escape was originally released on the New York No Wave label Infidelity in 1981, and has never been reissued in any form since (and thank you to Infidelity and the estate of Charles Ball for this). Sorcerer presents a first-time reissue of this very special recording this June.
Remastered by Mikey Young and fully authorised by Jody Harris and Robert’s brother, Van, it is to be reissued in an edition of 600 copies. Jody made his name on the NY scene mainly through his work with the legendary avant-funksters, THE CONTORTIONS, while Robert Quine, who sadly passed away in 2004, was one of the most acclaimed guitarists of his day, noted for his work with RICHARD HELL & THE VOIDOIDS, LOU REED, TOM WAITS, JOHN ZORN, MATTHEW SWEET and many more.
The two recorded Escape in Quine’s apartment with a whopping budget of $7 (that’s what it cost Quine for the tape). The album sees them both engaging in guitar duels over a primitive drum machine, a kind of skeletal minimal-synth with avant-guitar excursions overhead. Outward-bound yet wholly listenable, the five tracks represent a great lost gem of the NYC underground scene of the day.
This edition also comes with an inner sleeve featuring liner notes from Jody Harris detailing the recording, as well as exclusive photographs of the two.
Recommended to fans of NO WAVE, RHYS CHATHAM, SUICIDE and the music of ROBERT QUINE and JODY HARRIS, of course.

Sublime guitar playing. I feel Chris' distinctive brand of experimental americana seeping into my own playing, surely 's a good sign.

Stylistically a kinder, gentler Ceramic Dog album. Don’t get it twisted, Marc is still very much pissed off. His lyrics offer much fuel for interesting conversation. The band sounds less rigid and more elastic in their sound this time around. Maybe it was the unique method of recording this one, but it stands as their most eclectic release. Not sure why they left off the “7.83 Hz” track from the digital release, however… Lord Dubious
