LESSON NO. 1 unveiled Brancas visionary guitar concepts with two monstrous, side-long compositions that helped forge NYC's downtown Art-Punk sound and acted as a massive influence on countless young groups, including Sonic Youth and Swans. Soon after the release of LESSON NO. 1, Branca began to work on ambitious, long-form symphonies. 'Bad Smells,' included here as a single-sided bonus 12-inch, was commissioned in 1982 as a dance piece for choreographer Twyla Tharp and originally released on a split LP with John Giorno. Featuring Sonic Youth guitarists Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore, 'Bad Smells' is a thrilling multi-section guitar assault that foretells much of Branca, Ranaldo and Moore's work for the next decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Lesson No. 1 for Electric Guitar - Glenn Branca \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Dissonance - Glenn Branca \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Bad Smells - Glenn Branca\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Glenn Branca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32174837891143,"sku":"22695680","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2393540.jpg?v=1747382872","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/glenn-branca-lesson-no-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
