Edsel re-released the re-release of the United States of America album
sometime last year, and as far as I can tell, it's readily available (try
cdnow.com, for instance).
I second the recommendation on this album - in a way I think that if United
States of America didn't do their thing in the 60's, the chances of folks
like Broadcast doing their thing nowadays might be greatly diminished.
There are some dodgy hippie bits, which is unavoidable given the nature of
the record, but on the whole this is quite a work of art.
Cheers,

PS. On a completely unrelated note, any comments from the audience
regarding a couple of bits of hardware, namely the JP-8080 synth module and
the DR-202 drum machine? Thanks.
