Title:	Wall of Noise
Label:	ACUTE RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	ACT 006CD

"Trading in the electro-punk of Metal Urbain for true Metal Machine Music in 1979, Paris's Eric Debris, now known as Dr. Mix, unleashed his new concept, Dr. Mix And The Remix. With nothing more than a distorted guitar and a fuzzed-out drum machine, Dr. Mix And The Remix mixed originals with drastically distorted and deconstructed cover versions of 60's garage and avant-rock staples (Stooges, Bowie, Velvet Underground, et al.). Acute compiles the complete Dr. Mix And The Remix recordings for the first time on CD including the seminal Wall of Noise LP (listed by the Jesus And Mary Chain as one of their top 10 records ever) and many lost and rare tracks.

Artist:	IKE YARD
Title:	1980-82 Collected
Label:	ACUTE RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	ACT 008CD

"Influenced by their punk upbringing, avant-garde schooling, and no wave surroundings in early '80s NYC, Ike Yard managed to create a new sound by also tapping into equal parts the krautrock experimentation of Can, the Neue Deutsche Welle of DAF and the UK post-punk dub of PiL and Joy Division. This combination helped them to create sound and songs unique enough to catch the attention of Factory Records, who made them their first American signing. What really set Ike Yard apart were their cutting edge techniques. The mixing board and effects processors were as important as the bass, synth or occasional guitar, giving Ike Yard an aggressive and propulsive sound, where drum machines beat against the sound of scrap metal and angular guitar slashes dart through arpeggiated synth patterns. Acute Records released on 1980-82 Collected collects, for the first time, Ike Yard's two releases (their Factory LP and an EP for Les Disques di Crepuscule) plus several previously unreleased tracks."
