CURIO CORNER ISKRA 1903 Buzz Soundtrack   Paul Rutherford ((trombone), Derek Bailey (amplified guitar), Barry Guy (double bass)   EMANEM 4066   [79:15] This has got to be the weirdest album we have ever received at Film Music on the Web. The album claims that Buzz Soundtrack "documents the trio reacting to a 1971 film, Iskra (somewhat obscure – it's not listed in Halliwell) and providing a soundtrack to complement the events on the screen". The film is supposed to be about a character called Buzz. Well, this person and the film must have been grotesque in the extreme because the music to put it at its kindest sounds like instrumentalists tuning up before playing. Or to be even kinder some sort of experimental free improvisations. They should be charged by the listeners for assaulting their ears with nearly 80 minutes of complete twaddle. I will not waste any more time on this rubbish and declare it Ian Lace and . A Golden Turkey Awards contender
