Notes
|
The booklet includes the restored front and back covers of
the original release as well as much more detailed credits, old photos
of the original three members, and a couple of reviews and letters.
The new track is basically David Tibet reading off the famed list of
influences, with musical accompaniment provided.

Reviews

21 years ago Steven Stapleton was invited to swing
by BMS Studios in London late one night by resident engineer Nicky
Rogers. Stapleton gathered up friends John Fothergill and Heman Pathak
and made some recordings with a few goals in mind: very long tracks and
no vocals - they hated songs. With the eye catching infamous artwork a
classic was born, pressed in a limited quantity of 500 (probably
because there weren't enough fans or enough money to make more). It was
actually quite buzzworthy around London and reviews did pop up around
town (maybe not the most favorable) but people were interested in the
wack cover artwork at least. In retrospect, it's a bunch of sloppy
noise made by three drugged-out naive kids who were frustrated doing
boring jobs of making signs for example, bringing a ton of noisy toys
into the studio. Do I hear a Merlin in here? Loads of wanky guitars
color the first side of the LP while the second side consists of more
non-conventional noisemakers and randomness. The beauty is that these
guys weren't taking themselves nearly as seriously as modern
improvisationalists, there was indeed an element of purity apparent.
None of the tracks really end up where they started, and might serve
the purpose of being a great soundtrack to a drug-influenced evening.
This album provides an excellent reference point, and the newly
released repackage has a complete booklet with old photos of the
original trio, a restored front and back cover and even a letter from
an A&R Rep at Epic Records in NYC asking to hear some more NWW
records. (Imagine a world with NWW signed to Epic!) Anyhow if that
wasn't enough, the music's been cleaned up from the analogue tapes and
there's a bonus 15+ minute track recorded in September with Tibet and
Colin Potter. What's a new track doing on an old reissue? In a strange
justification it belongs, as the track consists of Tibet reading that
famed list of influencors from the original sleeve, over a minimal
amount of sound. It's nothing too impressive but mildly amusing and
neat to have an archive of (pretty much like the rest of this record).
While the new edition is a nice thing to own, if you're not all that
concerned with new packaging or a new track, this might not be worth
your cashola. On the other hand if you never picked it up, there's no
better time than the present. Once again I must state that I would
personally like to see 'Insect and Individual Silenced' and 'Automating
Vol. 2' surface on CD before more reissues like this and 'Thunder
Perfect Mind' materialize. - Jon Whitney
