“LP version: Two LP set in gatefold sleeve. “Devil’s Music” and more! We presents the vinyl reissue of Nicolas Collins’ live radio sampling masterpiece, originally released on vinyl in 1986, served up in all its stuttering glory, a time capsule of the mid-80s New York City airwaves, acclaimed by Philip Sherburne as “an early template for techno”, with a feel somewhat akin to scratching turntablist madness, a block-rocking party put through a blender and reassembled by body-popping demons. And more: “Real Landscape”, a 1987 “remix” recorded in Europe (originally released on cassette).”
