1996 - Plag Dich Nicht (Austria), 002 (CD)
Note by Jon Rose: This record is an edited version of the piece TECHNO MIT
STORUNGEN that took place on 11/11/95 as part of the festival "music unli-
mited" at Alter Schlachthof Wels, Austria. The original piece lasted two and
a half hours. The DAT used for this CD was recorded directly off the mixer,
consequently there were some problems with the balance and sound on the tape
which would not have been audible in the concert space. So to compensate,
this document you are listening to now has been a little "produced" using
standard studio techniques... Hopefully it retains the spirit of the origi-
nal performance.
