presocratics / tote

[david turgeon <david.t@xxxxxxxx>]

just stumbled across this on forced exposure.  anyone has anything to
say about it, or the band in general?  it has certainly piqued my
interest...

~~ snip ~~

Artist: PRESOCRATICS
Title: Works and Days
Label: TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS
Format: CD
Price: $14.00
Catalog #: TABLE 72

"Having created a stir in the international cassette underground, the
Presocratics now surface with a debut CD whose brilliance lurks within a
form that can best be described as electro-acoustic agit-prop. An
audacious cross between the old-school tape manipulations of Bernard
Parmegiani and the wry politics of the Red Krayola circa Corrected
Sogans, Works and Days culminates with a faithful, lovingly orchestrated
version of the Mercer/Mancini classic 'Moon River'."

& speaking of table of the elements, i'd be curious to read what the
people on this list think of the controversial reissue of "inside the
dream syndicate"...
