Moving from chaotic big band absurdity to African-inspired polyrhythms, cold techno and smoky ambient passages, Nurse With Wound's essential compilation returns with new Babs Santini artwork. A disorienting patchwork that serves as both historical document and standalone masterwork.

Double CD in deluxe 6-panel digipak with new Santini booklet. Nurse With Wound's essential 2014 compilation returns with new Babs Santini artwork. This expanded collection draws together material from the fertile period of 2008-2011, including for the first time digitally The Bacteria Magnet and Rushkoff Coercion EPs, previously unreleased remixes and exclusive tracks. The release collates a remarkable survey of Nurse With Wound's experimental practice during this crucial period. Moving from chaotic big band absurdity to African-inspired polyrhythms, cold techno and smoky ambient passages, the compilation serves as both historical document and standalone masterwork.

Disc One presents the complete "The Bacteria Magnet" and "Rushkoff Coercion" releases, featuring vocal contributions from Taundewei L Hodge, Hazel Two Twiggs, Freida Abtan, and Nadja Belabidi, woven into Stapleton's characteristic tapestries of found sound and electronics. Disc Two ventures into "Erroneous, A Selection of Errors," including the epic collaboration "Tickety Boo" with Fritz Müller featuring Eberhard Kranemann, alongside the previously unreleased blueprint for Opium Cabaret.

The new Santini artwork provides the perfect visual counterpart to Stapleton's sonic explorations. Though the collection lacks a unifying theme, its disorienting patchwork of textures offers an unpredictable exploration of sound that reveals the breadth of imagination that has sustained Nurse With Wound for over four decades. Essential for longtime devotees and newcomers alike, "Terms and Conditions Apply" serves as both summation and gateway to the limitless possibilities that emerge when conventional musical boundaries dissolve entirely.
