They (he?) really did. I suspect they changed the musical world. Anyone out there...can you help me elaborate? Blindsided by the brilliance of their DIME OPERATION ep as a mere youth, it became my mission to hear even the simplest sentences as fodder for sound experiment. I didn't even know what I was buying, swear to God.

sure, pal. if i ever actually see one of his albums for sale somewhere, i might pick one up; only thing i've ever heard by him was on a "sonic circuits" comp, really well-done and entertaining radio talk show cut-ups.

Isn't all their releases done in something like 20 copies???

Honestly, I don't know. There are some tracks from later releases I got from WinMX, believe it or not.

Here's the URL for tracks, hope it works for you. It's all quite screwy! Say thanks to "Connie"!

Years ago I tried to mailorder "Dime Operation" based on a review in Trouser Press. Months later I received my cash back, as the EP was sold out. Never ended up hearing it until recently on a CD-R. Interesting and wacky, but it didn't change my life.
