Label:	FM3 (CHINA)
Format:	Soundbox
Price:	$23.00
Catalog #:	BUDDHA 001

Restocked! 2nd edition now available. A unique 'soundbox' from China, which is causing sensation worldwide. A totally dazzling item which causes jaw-dropping delight everywhere -- Alan Bishop bought twenty-four of these on sight, Brian Eno bought eight (how's that for apocalyptical math?). FM3 are a duo of Christiaan Virant and Chinese keyboardist and computer musician Zhang Jian -- based in Beijing. The Buddha Machine is a hardware loop player, built kind of like a little AM radio (available in 6 different colors, shipped randomly), but without all the nonsense -- total genius from out of nowhere. More info/pictures at: www.fm3.com.cn [there's also a definitive FM3 interview at: www.rarefrequency.com]. Comes with 2 x AA batteries. "The Buddha Machine is a small soundbox made in China which comes with an integrated speaker, a volume control, mini jack-out and a switch to choose between nine different loops which are stored on a small chip and can be directly played by this mini soundsystem."

Title:	Mort Aux Vaches
Label:	STAALPLAAT (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MAV 054CD

"Packing comes in two kinds of hand screen printed paper from Switzerland and made a sort of first. Hardcover Mort Aux Vaches, printed in the Ukraine, FM3 went into the VPRO studio for their Mort Aux Vaches session in August 2004, right in the middle of a six-month tour of Europe and North America. The session captured the last-ever performance of FM3 material developed for a project at the Louvre museum, and was seen by the band as a definitive version of that particular live set. Following this MaV session, the material was retired and never performed again. Founded by Christiaan Virant in Beijing in 1999, FM3 pioneered avant-garde electronic music in China. Virant works closely with computer musician Zhang Jian, distilling the FM3 sound from traditional Chinese instruments and home-made electronic loop boxes called 'buddha machines'."
