Harsh / static noise, the first release by Stauropygial records, sold out and then re-released as a split tape with BAD PHENG SHUI (Stauropygial VI). Unfortunately the source tape is damaged and this SASQ issue cannot be longer copied but maybe you can still ask from some other distributors like Arma of Perineum Productions (Lithuania) or Baris from AMA distro (Turkey). The Cover Artwork includeth Text in Tok Pisin. The recording itself represents radio noise, recorded in Kuzmolovo on 7/8 November 2002 AD. A romantic story of its creation is as follows. At the time, I was living in Kuzmolovo, a tiny town (so-called urban-type settlement) in Leningrad region, and on that very day we were celebrating the birthday of Beloff, back then Ankylym's promoter, now a famous DJ. Having discovered a terrific noise on the radio, I turned it on loud, put a tape in the recording deck and fell (literally) asleep soon (Beloff being already sleeping). Two other friends of ours present, of opposite sexes, went outside for more booze. They failed to get back in, for neither did I hear the door bell over the noise, nor could they enter the balcony door from outside, after having climbed up to the 3rd floor by the pompier ladder. They had to spend that night on Kuzmolovo streets, and so their relationship began, as became evident next morning. Whereas Beloff woke up with a horrific hangover, for which he supposed the same noise was to blame.

This release seems to be the only one where I used to record the same thing on both sides. Now I really disfavour this practice.
