Negativland - Over The Edge, Vol. 9: The Chopping

Facts Negativland's 2016 album is the summation of years of on-air research and development of the Chopping Channel: A place on the dial where music - and lots more! - was swallowed, digested, exhumed, consumed, and presented for sale at prices that didn't last long. Broadcasting live from Negativland's legendary Over The Edge radio program, this album brings you cultural appropriation at it's most typical, with jokes that aren't that funny because they aren't really jokes. Top a relentlessly atomized mix of thousands of fragmentary samples of indeterminate origin, re-mulched into one continuous and time-saving stream of music, the salesmen (and woman!) of the Chopping Channel dare to sell you the music you're already listening to, as well as the culture you'll need to survive in the years to come. A cavalcade of special guest hosts, including Mark Gergis (Porest, Mono Pause / Neung Phak), alongside regulars Bud Choke and Help Suit, breathlessly parade the goods you need and instant-compose new modern music classics.
