There's an early nod towards what would be the 'Incredibly Strange Music' fad of the late nineties, with a tribute to Perry and Kingsley of "The In Sound From Way Out"(one of thee best album titles of all time or what?) fame, on track two.
Bucket loads of found sounds and sound manipulation on offer to satisfy any number of coffee table weirdos you care to imagine.
What would be a sublime irony is if Negativland or the wankers who manage them,or own the rights to their music,ask (better still, Dee-mand) for this link to be removed. As Blakey from 'On The Buses'* would say, "that'd make my day, Butler"!
*"On The Buses" was a satirical British sit-com from the
'60s and 70's' that accurately portrayed life in the United Kingdom as dominated by the trade unions and the working classes.....ah them were the days. We working classes owned that country before Thatcher ruined it all. Now we have nothing left.....all stolen by the Toffs. We don't even have football anymore,Beer is extortionate,even every actor is now posh because no-one from the lower echelons can afford to go to drama school.....fuck the posh cunts up in the imminent revolution!Reclaim the streets, then watch "On The Buses".

Best writeup of On The Buses I've ever seen!
Thanks for the Negativland. Never listened to these guys properly.
I hate you Butler, I hate you.........
or more phonetically accurate...."I 'ate choo Batlah, I 'ate choo!"
As a child their was a poor child on my street called,disastrously for him, Stan Butler....i'm ashamed to say that my mates and i taunted him with blakey impressions for at least three years.....poor sod.
The late Stephen Lewis who played Blakey actually was a working man who got into acting through left-wing theatre.
Hi! I'm reading your site from Hungary. Been looking for Negativland's Over the Edge Vol 1½: The Starting Line with Dick Goodbody, and it's proving impossible to find. I was wondering if you might have it and could post it? At any rate, thanks for all the great stuff you post--I pop in from time to time. This is where I got my Maximum Joy collection, among other curiosities :D

Wow, thank you! I'm from the States, currently spending a year abroad. Had to get away from all the lunacy for at least a little while. Can't wait to check out this installment of OTE, it's the only one I haven't heard. Thanks again!

I'd stay away if I were you Craig...although the government in Hungary is no laughing matter, racist nazi's that they are. For our shame,Britains latest ally.
Enjoy OTE 1 1/2
