microstoria / reproviers - thrill jockey 3x12"

1st - stereolab/oval
2nd - ui/mouse on mars
3rd - jim o'rourke/violent onsen geisha

i only have the second, which is pretty good. the mom-track ("pull =
moll") is beatless with strings and just a snappy crackling sound. the =
ui-track ("run? I jolly well won't run. I'll be happy to get you chaps =
another ball.") is just a weird sort of multipart-song. erh. only thing =
i've ever heard from ui, and i didn't even know they existed before i =
got this record. felt really bad when i found out because i'd earlier =
done a live electro performance at a small local party under the =
pseudonyme ui.

listen before you buy. i didn't.
but then again i got it really cheap.
