The Master's Voice is the second album by American improvisational band Unknown Instructors.[1] The core quartet of Mike Watt (The Minutemen, fIREHOSE, The Stooges, Dos, Banyan),[2] George Hurley (The Minutemen, Firehose, Red Krayola),[3] Joe Baiza (Saccharine Trust, Universal Congress Of),[4] and poet/saxophonist Dan McGuire reconvene on the album,[4] with guest vocals on three tracks by David Thomas (Pere Ubu)[4] and on another track by artist Raymond Pettibon.[4] In addition, Watt also contributes a vocal of his own. The album was recorded at Total Access Studio in Redondo Beach, California,[5] the same studio where Black Flag recorded many of their classic mid-'80s album releases and where Watt and Hurley's The Minutemen had recorded Project: Mersh in 1985.
Recording
According to Dan McGuire, the previous album The Ways Things Work was recorded in one day and came off jazzier because of it.[4] With the rhythm section more familiar now, McGuire wanted a harder edged album this time.[4]
