The follow up to Lesson No.1 was the
five track Lp “The Ascension”,including Lesson No.2,which took
Branca one more step closer to doing his massed guitar symphony
stuff. This still has its roots in dissonant avant rock,but there are
longer epics that could easily have been part of one of his later
“symphony's”. This could be his best record?
Tracklist:
| A1 | Lesson No.2 | 4:59 |
| A2 | The Spectacular Commodity | 12:41 |
| A3 | Structure | 3:00 |
| B1 | Lightfield (In Consonance) | 8:17 |
| B2 | The Ascension | 13:10 |

Thanks for sharing this Jonny. We posted this (http://pettyvendetta.com/various-chicago-82-a-dip-in-the-lake/) really excellent tape comp with interviews with Branca and John Cage in response to Branca's first performance of The Ascension. Glad to finally have the chance to enjoy (?) this.
