Out of stock

Original 1981 second album by the San Francisco experimental collective as wacky and privately released on Seeland as the first one.

condition (record/cover): VG+ (light surfave noise) / G+ (8" spine split, top spine wear, ring wear) No insert. The 1981 second album where Negativland expanded their sound collage techniques with greater sophistication. Radio samples, found tapes, and heavily processed instruments create dense soundscapes that critique media saturation while using media itself as primary instrument. The collective's humor remains darkly satirical - they mock American consumerism while acknowledging their own complicity as consumers and media producers. Songs shift unpredictably between accessibility and deliberate alienation, never letting listeners settle into comfort. Negativland's work predicted sampling culture and remix culture, but their approach is more conceptually rigorous and politically engaged than most who followed.
