That is Office Products, a duo of which I am half.  Thanks, and I'm glad
you share our sense of humor.  We are a turntable/guitar improv duo and
have 2 cds available through www.anomalousrecords.com, and should soon
have a web page link of sorts at www.syncopated.net/~solenoid ...our
recordings should soon be available in mp3 form there.  

I should warn you that our cd's are incredibly difficult to sit all the
way through in a single sitting because of the fast cutup/scratch collage
processing going on.  I suggest hearing only 4-5 minutes a day, perhaps
during breakfast instead of reading the cereal box.  Office Products have
dug a hole somewhere between Plunderphonics and Otomo Yoshide. I think we
are very careful and intentional in our recordings and have recently moved
more toward computer editting tools from 3 years of free-improv
turntable/guitar/electronics.  I am particularly into cartoon voice
talent and sound effects and incorporating more Daws Butler and Don
Messick syllables, fwiw.

Since you share our sense of humor, I recommend that you check out Stock
Hausen and Walkman's early stuff and Evolution Control Committee and other
EErie Materials label.  Also, People Like Us other works are incredible...
