Catalog #:	TOE 072CD

"Having created a stir in the international cassette underground, the Presocratics now surface with a debut CD whose brilliance lurks within a form that can best be described as electro-acoustic agit-prop. An audacious cross between the old-school tape manipulations of Bernard Parmegiani and the wry politics of the Red Krayola circa Corrected Sogans, Works and Days culminates with a faithful, lovingly orchestrated version of the Mercer/Mancini classic 'Moon River'."

Title:	Presocratics Serve Imperialism
Label:	TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	TOE 078CD

"Presocratics Serve Imperialism is the latest dispatch from the doubted underclass intelligentsia. Here, Presocratics employ consumer and post-consumer goods to interrogate history and insomnia in their bid to wrest philosophy from professional academia and the class system it supports, thereby returning it to the people (in general, and those people who pay for CDs with only 20 minutes of music in particular). This EP starts by wrapping vocals and instrumentation around recycled heavy metal (Nestor Mahkno Discovers America) and climaxes with the society debut of The Break-Even Point, the most breathtaking ballad ever to grace the electro-acoustic stage. Behold rock energy mobilized against nostalgia."
