Most people reading this haven't had much exposure to Gordon Mumma, ifany. I can't exactly blame them however as very few recordings are inprint or easy to come by. However, a full article has surfaced in TheWire recently and Tzadik has just released this collection ofrecordings from 1963-1985.

Music

This release can be somewhat confusing. It's not quite a full-lengthalbum of new stuff, it features altered versions of some older songs, acouple unreleased things and quite a lot of versions of their songs"Shrug" and "Shotgun" from 'Will You Find Me'.

One of the newer signees to the collective-based Dtrash Records,Venom8888 veers away from the label's usual (and excellent) digitalhardcore stylings and instead offers up a fine blend of noise,soundscapes and glitch.

Music

A simple title for the most simple music New Wet Kojak have ever created. True, the sex is still in this rock, more libido than most records combined. But where is the substance?

Usually when I'm shopping around in a record shop there's a good chanceI'm trying to ignore what's being played overhead. Sometimes the musicis okay but I'm normally just annoyed. Today was a little different. Isimply became entranced and forgot what I was originally there topurchase.
