various artists- MISH MASH MUSH MAXIMUM MEGA MIX VOL 1 (2000)


For this beautiful Friday the 13th we've got the first volume of the Mish Mash Mush Maximum Mega Mix series curated by Mat Brinkman of Forcefield. The first three came out together out of Fort Thunder in 2000, with extremely minimal packaging in plain jewel cases.
These featured an extremely eclectic mix of styles ranging from field recordings of the old East Side train tunnel, spazzed out noise rock, musique concrete, bedroom electronics, straight up harsh noise, and a liberal dose of one-offs and joke tracks (doo-wop acapella Black Flag cover, anyone?). The lineup is also all over the place and could probably only be fully deciphered by Brinkman himself, with a handful of more etablished names like Mindflayer, 25 Suaves, Libythth, Jeff Hartford (Noise Nomads), a few more obscure acts of the time, as well as a good amount of what I suspect are joke names and pseudonyms (if Bronchitis Brothers isn't some incarnation of Olneyville Sound System I'll eat my shoe.)
This is the first of three in the initial MMMMMM series, with the other two coming soon.
Classic American freak noise history absolutely not to be missed.

(Note: after several tries I was unable to rip track 10 from my copy, so had to include the best rip I could find on Soulseek, which is unfortunately only at 192kbps as opposed to the strict 320 I've been keeping things at. If I find a better copy I'll re-upload the whole thing proper.)
