Eszter Balint , Jack Womack, and others, plus a live mix of the SOTU set

State of the Union 2.001
This amazing 3-CD set of contemporary sound and text-based electric and
electronic music may be just what you need to live a full life. Composer /
performer Elliott Sharp has set aside his saxophone and put his guitar on
the shelf for just long enough to collect one-minute music and sound works
by 171 leading lights of the international avant-garde, both famous and
unknown, that represent a vast array of approaches, attitudes, aesthetics,
ethnicities, musical styles, and social persuasions. He describes the
collection as "concrete, abstract, enraged, objective, caustic, soulful,
sardonic, provocative -- all unfiltered, all clear." It's more than that.
It's totally enjoyable. Unmissable. A bandwagon you should get on without
missing a beat.
