Menlo Park Record (1996) ; Audible Hiss (1995) – Miami Beach
?????
Tom Smith – vocals, tapes
Rat Bastard - bass
Ben – Oscillator
I can understand making a record like this. One. Making two or seven is the work of insane and irrational people. Purchasing a second record is another problem (one I’m dealing with). It’s difficult to differentiate one “song” from another – all feature an indecipherable and bellowing Tom Smith over incomprehensible tape loops and instrumental and other noise. It’s even more difficult to make it all the way through one song without running to the turntable to get that noise off. And I like this kind of thing – but need some variation in my racket. I would rather be waterboarded that be subjected to an entire CD – of which there are several. The revolving band of perpetrators live in different cities around the country – but I believe Miami Beach was their home during the recording of these two records.
