The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

Mustikkandano 01.10.1972
|
1972 | Elektro Records | 2025 |
"A meeting of minds across continents, 1972 unites two underground visionaries: Anla Courtis, the Argentine experimentalist known for his boundary-pushing work with Reynols, and Jussi Lehtisalo, the Finnish avant-rock architect behind Circle, Pharaoh Overlord, and Ektro Records. Their collaboration unfolds as an abstract, free-flowing dialogue — an exercise in sonic alchemy where the hypnotic collides with the microtonal." Released March 4th Bandcamp |

Scriptural Lips & Filtered Tips | Goy Division | 1994 | "The Christal Methodists have cranked out a living testimony to fundamentalist powers over public airwaves. What you hear are actual recordings taken mostly from live AM radio deep in the bleedin' heart of Texas, a land creeping with Davidians, snake oil salesmen, Luby's whores, and wicked talk radio. The Christal Methodists invade the dark and fiery territory of Old Testament talk radio." |
