Label:	LO ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES (UK)
Format:	CDR
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	LOAF 005CD

Series of CDR releases on this new Lo Recordings subsidiary label. "Doubleclick Countryside is a sprawling journey through bouncy pop, brooding jazz, Eastern scales, '50s lounge music, bhangra, Philly soul, contemporary folk and classical music. Yet it is also a small record. Each song lives and breathes in its own little world. Barbed are Alex and Alex, previously responsible for the 'plunderphonic' classic Barbed released on the legendary These label way back in 1994. Veterans of stupidly long concerts with the likes of Negativland, People Like Us and the Tape Beatles, they went on to join an embryonic Add N to X, provide the soundtrack for Joram ten Brink's arthouse classic The Man Who Couldn't Feel and supply material for numerous compilations, live records and remixes. But they yearned to make a different kind of music, one that was at the same time familiar and yet alien, pop fluff with hidden spikes -- Barbed, as it were. And this is it -- Doubleclick Countryside."

Label:	THESE (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	THESE 9

"Debut release from London based electronics duo. Time capsule aesthetics with a good sense of rhythm and an ear for a sound-bite. Car boot sale machinery meets high tech in a collision of cultural relics and long forgotten reels of tape. This is post-concrete music harnessing the sampler to create landscapes and atmospheres, taking the listener through dense forests of plasticity and illusion." 1994 release, still available?! But for how much longer? And who will read these words? And which mushroom cloud will be the last?
