2008 repress. Subtitled ""Describing Planes of an Expanding Hypersphere"". Recorded in 1984 but held up in a post-production stasis until now, this is music for 5 guitars, mallet guitar, violin, drums, bass, keyboards, that is being touted as the ""most dense, cacophonous Branca symphony yet."" ""Glenn's music gets quite often inaccurately described as wall-of-sound/noise/guitars/whatever. A wall exists for the purpose of containment. 'Symphony No. 5' is expansive beyond limits, smashing the wall (at least sonically) between this dimension & all others. There is quite audibly the garbling's of the voices of alien intelligences banging at the doors of our world as we dream of theirs.
