This is a compilation of twelve electronic accordion & melodica tracks. "The Asthmatic Worm" is a 19th century nickname for the accordion. Since their invention in the first half of the 19th century, accordions have been played mostly as classical concert and folk instruments. Even today, little has changed in that regard. Only recently, the accordion has found interest by a number of electronic music producers. Björk collaborated with Japanese accordion player Coba, Rephlex artist Bogdan Raczynski has recorded a full album of accordion music and Uwe Schmidt sampled it for his Señor Coconut record of Kraftwerk covers. With the accordion, the possibilities are endless. Artists include: Múm, März, Sensorama, Hey, Doctor Rockit, Gotan Project, Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit, Atom TM, Markus Nikolai, Dntel, Wechsel Garland and Gonzales.
