stereo wasteland
Steven Stapleton's project, Nurse With Wound, harked back to the satirical and iconoclastic experiments of Dadaism and Futurism. His early, formative works (frequently shared with David Tibet of Current 93), such as Homotopy To Marie (1982) and Sylvie And Babs (1985), were similar in spirit to the Fugs' Virgin Forest, to Frank Zappa's breakneck operettas and to the Residents' multiform suites. His art of the collage turned decidedly cacophonous with works such as the EPs Gyllenskold (1984) and B…

Salt Marie Celeste
United Jnana's Nurse With Wound reissue series continues with Salt Marie Celeste, perhaps the most radical album in the band's catalog. Similar in spirit to Gavin Bryars's "The Sinking of the Titanic," the album's sixty-plus-minute title track delves deep into the themes of unknown darkness and ultimate demise.Recorded in 2002 by Steven Stapleton and electronic studio wizard Colin Potter, this is a landmark recording in the field of contemporary electronic music. Best known for founding the lege…
Angry Eelectric Finger 1 (+ Jim O\' Rourke)
O'Rourke's version of Nurse With Wound's source material keeps very close to the spirit of a Nurse With Wound album. This is partly due to the common reference points both artists share, but partly because it seems that he has used much of the raw material provided by Stapleton and Potter without changing it at all. Nurse With Wound and O'Rourke are two of the few artists who can sustain interest while essentially presenting an entire LP side of creaking sounds set against doom laden ambient sou…
