pigeon - mouldy dough vvmt1000 this pretty colored piece of vinyl contains the official vvm anthem, mouldy dough, plus the vvm track, pigeon bits, which is a deconstruction of the events that take place on side a. side a. mouldy dough was a #1 single? just when things get really confusing this makes sense of it all. one utterly goofy track, all happy like. the sort of thing that might cause a craze in a bar at 2am in new hampshire where everyone drinks far too much. side b. deconstructed pigeon bits. somewhat along the lines of some of the material found on the chartrunners 12". distorted, noise bits, really off wacked slaughter of a tune that really lived up to what the vvm crew said it was :) i really like it alot, epsecially when it gets all crazed fast at the end, but its far too short, much like all pop 7" singles. funny, because this is exactly how it came off also, like putting on one of those old 45rpm :) if you come by it, pick it up, although these may be only available from the source (as was indicated previously) will see if some realaudio might be in order as i really think all the vvm followers will appreciate this :) Turkey vvmt0008 if you liked last years allstar hit xmas 7" this will really turn you inside out. both this and Stuffing are *must* have. don't pass these up simply because they appear to be x-mas novelties! turkey is an old blend of x-mas themed tracks with x-mas evolved music and electronic weirdness. this is so much better than last years that i'm finding it hard to believe. the whole thing flows straight through quite well, like some big holiday nightmare mix... depending on where you are on the 7", this plays well at 33 or 45 and its great full adjusting the pitch and stuff as you listen through, especially with the abundance of samples present. x-mas parties will never be the same!!! STuFFing vvmt0009 more dark x-mas based humor, this one complete with a delightful stuffing recipe that will be having you wear out all your old socks. though this one doesn't flow through like a big evil mix it has a rudolph the rednose raindeer bit complete with evil voice followed by an excellent onslaught on electronics and warped samples that just can't be beat. on a whole, between the two, this is my favorite, as it is a bit more electronic oriented and a bit more funky and festive... other highlights on this one include >>> vvm ' santa claws is conning your town' (a very funky slaughter of the classic) and the stranger 'in the bleak mid-winter' (drone/noise/hymns... its bleak and depressing... makes me quite upset that i've neglected to send $ dimitri's way for the stranger release!) all in all, if you pick up only one of the three, make it Stuffing and if you don't pick that up your really missing out on the fun, the offthewall maddness that is vvm and probably doing yourself an injustice. i know that some people will pick this up just because its far too ltd and when you decide to sell it, look me up, because this is too good to have only one copy of (as i'll be thrashing on my current :) xxxx@xxxxx.xxx icq_12645306 http://www.sonic.net/~brap/ (now with live visuals (cam.html)) coming sooner than later: sfwd0004 - pre-mil=B7len=B7ni=B7um soundscapes 12" our future has never been so frightening: http://williamshatner.com/
