Over the last four decades, each of these two men has permanently altered the way in which his instrument is heard: Frith with his (at times literal) deconstruction of the electric guitar, and Butcher with his exploration of the physical properties of sound and extended playing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough they’ve played live together a few times, The Natural Order, recorded in 2009 and mixed in 2012, documents Frith and Butcher’s first head-to-head encounter in a recording studio. The album is as pure a document as possible: recorded in a single stretch, with no overdubbing, the 10 tracks appear here in the order of their creation. It captures a single hour of unmediated interaction between two restless, creative spirits determined to make every moment with their respective instruments count. It’s not jazz, it’s not rock, it’s not noise—it’s pure music, the product of two men in one place at one time, unique and unrepeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFred Frith – guitar\u003cbr\u003eJohn Butcher – saxophones\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northern Spy Records","offers":[{"title":"CD + Digital","offer_id":44667159937247,"sku":"CD-NS-060","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC Download","offer_id":44667159871711,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3 Download","offer_id":44667159904479,"sku":null,"price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/9256\/8543\/files\/a0862332074_10.jpg?v=1703788860","url":"https:\/\/shop.northern-spy.com\/products\/fred-frith-and-john-butcher-the-natural-order","provider":"Northern Spy Label Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
