ships in 2 - 4 weeks

definitive compilation of split cassettes put out by marinelli's own distorted vision records circa '98 - '00, including material by japanoise stalwarts outermost, gov alpha, and facialmess as well as flutter, the grand rapids teenage primitiv-computer-destroyers of legend. marinelli has re-emerged in the past few years thanks to the efforts of one henry c. rial (during a surprise late-night phone call to bob's place of work) and his return to form cemented by outstanding works on hospital and fusty. the work showcased on this double-disc set is a crucial point of turn-of-the-century cassette culture (what remained of it at that point) and remains some of the best noise of its era.
