Chicago's no-wave death-jazz scene seems to be constantly expanding, breathing like some hellbent organism of its own. Weasel Walter stands at the center of the tornado, whether it's with the Flying Luttenbachers, To Live and Shave in LA 2, or his various associations with other acts like Bobby Conn, the now-departed Lake of Dracula, or HateWave. Exoskeleton is an all-out assault on the senses. Exploring Biology pits Walter on saxophone and clarinet, relinquishing the drums to the crazed, clattering Billy Sides. The quartet (with alto sax and synth) deconstruct free jazz in the usual energetic manner, reaching it's most interesting peaks when the fierce saxes dance with the fluttering synthesizer. The six untitled tracks rush by, even on the 20+ minute track 5, leaving the listener in a whirlwind, there is a genuine feeling of rebellion and a crazed spirit here.
