This particular album consists of remixes of Spunk, which a press release describes as a "female chamber anarchist quartet," whatever the fuck that means. Anyway, this album seems to be more beat-oriented than many of the Rune Grammofon albums, at least the ones I like a lot, however there is also more ambient stuff. There is a great mix of organic and electronic sounds on this album, and it has a very distinctive feel to it, aesthetically similar to the label's other releases. My favorite track is Svalastog's remix, which was also featured on the Rune Grammofon sampler included with The Wire a few months ago. Perfect combination of sounds and rhythms to create a song both relaxing and discomforting. Crazy fucking alien horns! Lasse Marhaug also has a badass noise remix on there. Anyway, this is a great album and I look forward to more stuff from the label and Spunk. David Parisi (Friday 10pm-12am): Ashtray Navigator - "Last Kiss Amateur Frequencies" [Gameboy]: A 33 rpm, 7 inch valentine of massaging noise. Make-out music for the alone. All the releases from Crouton [Crouton]: High-ceiling ambient, jazz improv and poetry fest from the best - Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Comments: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- WSUM is going FM on Februrary 22 - that's 10 fucking days. We'll be at 91.7 FM in Madison and wherever else our 5,600 watt tower beams us. Thanks for all the support over the netcasting years. Things will only get better from here. Extra special thanks to everyone who has sent special give-away shit for our first weeks on the air. As I mentioned in my last message, David Parisi is our new Music Director so give him a call if you're getting lonely or feeling neglected by me. --Jacob Heule (Program Director / Experimental Music Director)
