Archive aural document collection edited by James Nice and originally released via Sub Rosa in 1989. This unique CD compiles over an hour of original sound recordings made between 1912 and 1959 by luminaries from both 20th Century art movements, including: Marinetti, Antonio Russolo, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp, Wyndham Lewis, Guillaume Apollinaire, Kurt Schwitters, Tristan Tzara, Marcel Janco and Richard Huelsenbeck. Includes musical and interview material, tone poems, and sleevenotes. Artwork by Joël Van Audenhaege.
"The most enthralling LTM project to date, should lie in every record collection bar none" (Melody Maker, 12/1988); "Blows the pants off most of the crap which passes for pop these days" (Marie Claire, 1988); "Wonderful... You could imagine Tim Burton using it for a camp re-creation of a silent frightener" (The Guardian, 11/2000); "This is exceptional - from Wyndham Lewis’ poshtones to some skippy jazz-hot from Jean Cocteau, this is unremittingly fresh and joyous." (The Wire, 10/2000).
