Looks good
― Tom D., Tuesday, 4 September 2007 11:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Supposed to be good. Haven't heard it yet. Cover is kinda ugly though which is unusual.
According to discogs: "There is no difference between the case of the special edition and the regular edition. The bonus track is not marked."
OMG. What will the record collectors do on ebay?!

He is a better goat farmer than a musician, in my opinion. One true story - I used to live next door to a dominatrix and one of her tricks used to play Nurse With The Wound's music when she was whipping some guy, he used to ask her to make him come all over a kebab and then eat it

I heard from a very reliable source that there's actually no new material on there, he just slowed down the original (or something along those lines, the specifics there could be off, but the 'no new material' part was very clear).
― jon abbey, Sunday, 13 January 2008 04:07 (sixteen years ago) link
back to the original question, I thought 'ace' for a long time, but now I'm wondering how much there was ever there. I'd love to hear his long-rumored disc featuring all female rappers, but not surprisingly, he seems hesitant to actually let the world hear that one.

You think these are criticisms of the NWW, but they've been levelled plenty times. and they aren't criticisms.

OK Drew, who is Hazel Two Twiggs?
Huffin' Rag Blues is ROCKING MY WORLD.
Stapleton has outdone himself again. Sounds nothing like any other NWW album, yet somehow instantly identifiable. I love all the cuss words.
― sleeve, Tuesday, 30 September 2008 00:41 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't know either. I've been loving the hell out of "Huffin' Rag Blues" and the "Bacteria Magnet" 12" EP too- I just don't get the bile and "meh" in some of the reviews because I think it's so hilarious and powerful and funny and counter-intuitive- I think the repetition and rhythm is building off of "Rock n Roll Station" and the kitschy loungey thing is building off of "Sylvie & Babs" and those are both such classics that maybe this just suffers by comparison, but I really dig it, especially the over-the-top mountains of sound effects of animals and birds that overwhelms things, and then when the same thing happens but with car horns later on it's a true lol moment (esp. that sudden voice going "motherfucker!" from out of nowhere). Genius! Really!
The ridiculous Sheena Easton cover is something they've been doing live for a while now, had no idea it would crop up on this record too. (it's at the end of "Black Teeth"- they suddenly launch into "Morning Train")

"I just don't get the bile and "meh" in some of the reviews"
In 5 years, the same critics will write about the "Huffin'Rag Blues" golden era, when listening to NWW was fun. Me, I just love it now, and I like also the Faust album.
― Marco Damiani, Tuesday, 30 September 2008 06:58 (fifteen years ago) link
i adore "huffin' rag blues"
"cruisin' for a bruisin" is a regular feature of my dj sets. it works surprisingly well on the dancefloor and sounds INSANE on a good soundsystem.
i'm still holding my breath for the hip hop album........
― stirmonster, Tuesday, 30 September 2008 08:00 (fifteen years ago) link
finally getting 'round to huffin' rag blues, it's sounding fantastic so far, particularly "the funktion of the hairy egg". kind of a "two golden microphones" vibe. great vocals all over this album as well.
has anyone heard the "two shaves and a shine" remix album? does it sound anything like the live version fezaffe posted a while ago?
― rio (r1o natsume), Tuesday, 21 April 2009 12:58 (fourteen years ago) link
A friend of mine had his remix included in the final album!

Absolutely loving "Funeral Music for Perez Prado" at the moment - anything else out there like that?

Along with pandas, rhinos and the Chinese river dolphin, record stores are on the endangered species list. Nurse With Wound are doing their best to help with Paranoia in Hi-Fi on Dirter Promotions. A collection of remixes, unreleased pieces and "unexpected tracks," this new album is priced at a measly 99p and is only available from your local record store in the UK. So give your postman a rest, take a walk down to your nearest bricks and mortar store on November 30th and tell them Steve Stapleton sent you.
um, can anyone from the UK pick me up a copy of this and mail it to the states if I paypal you postage? send me an ILX email if you can help out.
― sleeve, Monday, 2 November 2009 06:37 (fourteen years ago) link
and as regards Funeral For Perez Prado, if I recall the basic loop was taken from a David jackman album called Sol Mara which is really good drone, warmer than the usual Organum sound. either that or it came from the NWW track "A Piece Of The Sky Is Missing", B-side to "Cooloorta Moon" and also on CD somewhere I think.

I might be able to help out regarding the 99p NWW CD. I'll know closer to the time how many copies we end up with and how many are spare. When we get to the week beforehand I'll get back in touch...

― Mark G, Monday, 2 November 2009 09:22 (fourteen years ago) link
An Awkward Pause is the one I play most often.
Also I just picked up both the Dirter box set of the Chance Meeting reissue and the new Vinyl on Demand box. Both are nice to have but the VOD one is simply stunning, one of the most amazing box sets I've ever seen. Worth every penny.

Just picked up ''spiral insana'', I'm digging it. I'll wait until I get my hands on more albums before I judge them.
― Gathering Storm, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 18:47 (fourteen years ago) link
So it seems Paranoia in Hi-Fi is going to be sold at shops around the world. Whether "the world" encompasses more than the UK and US remains to be seen, but Forced Exposure are handling distro in the US, so sleeve should be fine.

Apparently my record store has it in on order. Hope so.
Just looking at Space Music now. Here: http://www.blrrecords.com/prod/2049/space_music.html

Yes -- it's alright, kinda formless and soundtrack-y to my ears.
I'm still picking up NWW albums as I find them, but can definitely recommend you SEARCH (to varying degrees): Insect and Individual Silenced, Homotopy to Marie, Drunk with the Old Man of the Mountains, An Awkward Pause, Salt Marie Celeste, Huffin Rag Blues, The Surveillance Lounge, and Space Music (as mentioned above).
Can anyone recommend or advise against Soundpooling? That one's sitting in a local used shop, am thinking about picking it up before it disappears.

Yes, it's great - and is of somewhat historical importance as well, being a recording of the first NWW concert for, ooh, decades, which took place in Vienna in 2005. At the Pathological Museum, a wonderful choice of venue.

now we're talking, this is fantastic:
Breaking news from a post by M. S. Waldron:
Well, the day has finally arrived. I've been excited about this for a very long time, but wanted to wait until the official release happened before I made any announcements. A new album from the remarkable Diana Rogerson has finally been released today on Bandcamp! There doesn't seem to be any news about this anywhere else online, so I'm assuming that hardly anyone knows about it. A shame she missed Bandcamp Friday by a single day! I love this album and have been greatly anticipating it's release. It's a very quiet & unassuming arrival of a fabulous new record from an incredibly unique artist, so I'm going to make a bit of noise about it and strongly encourage you to investigate & support this release!
'Blue Bottle In A Jam Jar' has been in the works for quite sometime, but I can only provide details from my own involvement. Diana asked me to do the cover art for the album back in mid-2019, and I assume initial recording was already underway at the time. She asked me to master the album back in April 2021, and I did some additional remixing and embellishment of four of the tracks in the following months. I thought those four remixes/revisions I'd made (tracks 3, 4, 6 and 8 ) would just be added as bonus tracks of some kind, but I guess they've supplanted the earlier versions entirely. I'm not aware of the particulars about how the tracks were recorded in Ireland before they were sent to me, so I'm afraid I can't provide more information about that. However she went about it, she's managed to put together yet another fabulous record that easily stands alongside her two classic Chrystal Belle Scrodd records from the 80s and 'The Lights Are On But No-One's Home' from 2007. I hope she doesn't wait quite so long to do the next one!

mine too. this is an act whose music is special to me, and some of that specialness is a feeling of intellectual kinship -- shared interests, a common groove that runs through visual art & sound & affect. no gods no heroes right? but, like...it's kind of like learning a beloved professor, somebody who walked you through poetry and took you to places you might never have found by yourself, harbors some really unpleasant reactionary position. I don't feel like "he buried this sentiment in some liner notes" rises to the level of "then don't buy this guy's music," you know, but...it knocks him off a pedestal, is all, and I liked my man up on his weird pedestal of illumination there, instead of in the sea of people who've made the world worse.
