Artist:	PITA
Title:	Get Out
Label:	EDITIONS MEGO (AUSTRIA)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	EMEGO 029CD

Get Out was originally released in 1999 on the Mego label and was Pita's (Peter Rehberg) second full-length release. Out-of-print for over half a decade, this new edition is remastered and packaged in a 6 panel digipack and includes three extra tracks which appeared on the split 12" with Kevin Drumm released by BOXmedia in 2000. Get Out was the follow-up to the award-winning Seven Tons For Free, and its harsh use of available computing devices made it popular both in and outside electronic music circles of the time, especially the 11-minute anthemic third track. David Keenan in his liner notes states that Get Out "...stands as the first major musical laptop statement in the same way that Jimi Hendrix's Are You Experienced? album spoke for the most extended instrument-specific modes of the electric guitar three decades earlier." Both restive and restless, orchestral and abrasive, Get Out is the high water mark of laptop noise experimentation and it will absolutely scramble your brain.

Title:	Get Off
Label:	HAPNA (SWEDEN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	HAPNA 019CD

"This is the fourth solo album from groundbreaking sound artist Pita (real name Peter Rehberg). His previous solo albums as Pita (all on the Mego label) have all been landmarks in electronic music. His sound ranges from furious to minimalistic, but always with the same uncompromising attitude. To be true to ones ideas when trends come and go is something admirable in every artist. Get Off is his most varied album to date. Apart from his solo work, he is also a member of several groups,\\ notably MIMEO (with Keith Rowe, Rafael Toral, Marcus Schmickler, Jerome Noetinger and others) and Fenn O'Berg (with Christian Fennesz and Jim O'Rourke). He is also one of the persons behind the influential Mego label."
