"COMMERCIAL AD HOC"

I sometimes wonder why I buy these things, especially when the websites openly give the songs away free on MP3.
  Perhaps it's in the name of flying in the face ofcorporate copyright holders, maybe I'm just showing my support for theaudio renegades pushing the envelope of art versus law. I wish themusic were better, however. The premise of this release, the latestcollaborative release between Negativland's Seeland and Illegal Art wasto use and abuse commercials as driving sound sources for the songsgathered here. Artists include the Evolution Conrtol Committe, Pimmon,Big City Orchestra and 15 others. It's crazy, kooky, full of kitch andrandomness. Almost too random in many spots as these laptop artistsfocus more on the input than the output. I'm completely convinced thatCDs are too easy to produce.
