Taking their cue from Antonin Artuad and his studies of ancient Mexico solar culture, Material’s Ciguri is a dark and warped piece of ‘punk-funk’ disco. Released on Red Records in 1981, this special disco mix 12” combines one wicked bassline from one of the stalwarts of the New York ‘Downtown’ scene, Bill Laswell, with the awesome musicianship of Fred Maher and Robert Quine, resulting in another spooky and avant-garde gem from the maverick Laswell.
