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

For perspective, one of my favorite classical music artists (well, Baroque) is Telemann, who wrote way too much music for his or our own good. But I love his bad stuff as much as the brilliant stuff. My point being that it's okay for Laibach to be bad.

I see you''re digging deep into much of the stuff I was listening to in the 90's in this set. Was just hearkening back to those days earlier today. You'd be amazed at the CD's I've amassed from those days. Have entire CD racks dedicated to now mostly out-of print releases from independent labels of long ago such as 21st Circuitry, COP Int. & Silent Records (out of SF), Reconstriction & DSBP, and lots of releases featuring Northwestern electronic artists on ADSR, Arts Industria, ArtOfFact, Flaming Fish and others.
