Released in 1983, this is the best known track of three albums' worth of stuff the jazz veteran recorded with New York producer/collaborator/bass player Bill Laswell.
Anyone old enough to be conscious of pop music at the time will remember the shock of this amazing electro instumental, not to mention the weird Godely and Creme-directed video. It was miles ahead of all the competition at the time.
I remember much debate about whether the scratching was 'real' ie made on a record player - hilarious, as it's so obviously not, but even that lends a futuristic twist to the sound.
