about

The first 3 singles by 23 Skidoo, including their rare debut 7" as well as the celebrated 12" EPs 'The Gospel Comes To New Guinea' and 'Tearing Up the Plans' released on Fetish Records.

"Their sinister ethno-funk industrial-dub blueprint remains an essential listen and their suspicion of commercial success seems both quaint and prophetic. Since 1979 they have wed ancient Eastern and African interests to a restlessly modern tribal angst. The group took the opportunity to confound expectations whenever possible and created an uncompromising and seminal musical identity: check the extent of their imitators. In the process, 23 Skidoo illustrated how to retain relevance and integrity when threatened by hazardously close brushes with success in the music biz. Never a dance band, their music has always resembled the neo-primitive urgings of a gang of aesthetes wandering a post-apocalyptic urban desert." (Brainwashed, 11/2008)

Strain Crack & Break: Music From The Nurse With Wound List Volume One (France)
by Various Artists

supported by 7 fans who also own “Singles 1981-1982”

Amazing from start to finish. Sort of like encountering Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music for the first time, it's like stepping off a spiral staircase into the deep end of a whole 'nother universe of mysteries. "Triptik 2", the closer, is one of the most jaw-droppingly strange/hypnotic collisions of jazz, electronica, psychedelia and WTF I've ever heard - and yet it somehow works. Bought both volumes just on the strength of the first one & hoping there are many more to be issued. rocketmorton

Strain Crack & Break: Music From The Nurse With Wound List Volume Two (Germany)
by Various Artists

supported by 6 fans who also own “Singles 1981-1982”

This album perfectly emulates what would happen if Zippy the Pinhead wrote the musical score for the cartoon "Horton Hears a Who"...accompanied by various members of the Discordian Society. Of course...long-time fans of NWW will fap over these tracks...these tracks (and the previous vol.1 album) are heavily sought after among the dedicated. I have to say...both as a Fan and High Priest of Discordia...I give it 5 thumbs up! Finnius
