This is one of the most important experimental guitar-based titles from avant guitarist and founding Henry Cow member Fred Frith. Frith's second solo album, Speechless, includes appearances by Etron Fou Leloublan, Massacre, and Bill Laswell. This is a studio Frankenstein of live clips and found sounds. While Frith attests to the occurrence of many "happy accidents," the album comes across confidently and more often more coherent than merely challenging. This is often cited as Frith's best solo record, and its inspired manipulations hold up under repeated scrutiny

For his second solo album of the 1980s Fred Frith followed a similar format to Gravity, using different backing musicians for side a (Etron Fou) and b (Massacre). It's a very different album, however; the eccentric dance music of the previous album has given way to a darker, more obviously RIO style of composition and performance, with greater emphasis on studio work and use of taped sound sources.

While "Speechless" is a studio album, some of the tracks were extracted from a Massacre concert, and later manipulated and overdubbed in the studio. The album cover artwork was prepared by Tina Curran, Frith's wife at the time. On "Speechless", Frith continued the exploration of world folk and dance music that he began on "Gravity" (1980), his previous solo album.

Speechless was Fred Frith's second album for the San Franciscan Ralph label, and was originally issued in 1981. Like its predecessor Gravity, it's an eclectic, restless, kaleidoscopic record that pulls in elements of folk music, free improv, avant rock and good old fashioned noise and then knits them together with field recordings, tape manipulation and studio trickery. The first half of the record (or side one in vinyl terms) features our Fred in cahoots with French trio Etron Fou Leloublan.
