If you like this, you really should check out _Welcome to the American Experience_ on cd (it's also on vinyl, but the cd has 8 extra tracks that the 12" lacks). Sorta reminds me of the humor involved in _Trash_ and _Death of Cool_. Very heavy on skipping cd sounds, but NOT in the artsy way of Oval, more of a noise thing. Much on beats and noise...Sorta like Merzbow/NWW meets Si Begg! One of the more innovative and cds yet. I'd highly recommend this to anyone into oddball stuff. Hope their track on the upcoming Lo comp is as good as this stuff, as the exposure would be well warranted. JJTar --- Peace Hugs and Unity Jason J. Tar W. W. J. D?

oddly enough i bought this today - it is really excellent, bits of it remind me of ATR - i picked it up cos one of the tracks is called 'Markus Popp can kiss my redneck ass (live)' on now: fennesz - hotel parallel

also got Static Pulse by Utah Kawasaki - on Zero Gravity - who i've never heard of before - but an excellent record 37 tracks mostly around the 1 minute mark - just various sounds - working in the same area as the Mego stuff + Computer Music Currents 3 on Wergo - 4 pieces of academic electronic composition - they were playing it in the shop whilst i was listening to the fennesz on headphones - they went together really well. If you like disturbed ambient stuff it's worth digging out - has anyone heard any of the others in the series - i think there's about 11 of them
