Ooooooooo,.. sexy!

"This two-disc set of pure weirdness contains one disc that's a remix of the Rock and Roll Station album (which was out of print at the time this was released) and one disc of RnRS outtakes that Stapleton, in his own words, had "stopped working on" when RnRS was completed. Well, stopped working on or not, they sound complete enough to me. This disc is one of the highlights of the demented-hip-hop days of Nurse with Wound. Included is a David Tibet-voiced cover of Zappa's "Trouble Every Day" ("Subterranean Zappa Blues") done in gangsta-rap style and backed with one of the most dissonant saxophone lines this side of a John Zorn album; a thoroughly nasty powerelectronics remix of the last track on RnRS that will have your ears bleeding for its last minute or so; a remix of the RnRS title track, without the voiceover, that's tailor-made for adding to the discerning technohead's sampling kit ("Sugarbush and the Swinging Snares"); and many, many other fine pieces of oddity from the reclusive master of all things fishdrink. Lots of fun, and NWW's best since "NWW Play the Hafler Trio." Highly recommended."

Better by the acre-foot

"Well these cds just go on and on. This type of music is best enjoyed where it can just roll away from you in all directions. Some of it makes almost no sense, but the rest of it is good, too. It's hard to compare this to anything that isn't sold by the hundred-weight or per ton."
