"Four new and exclusive tracks from Los Angeles' experimentalists Ultra-Red. The sound of Radio Boy and the Soft Pink Truth putting on a protest party on the Mexican border. Ultra-Red is a Los Angeles-based sound-art and electronic music group producing radio broadcasts, public space occupations, performances, recordings and installations. The four tracks on the Imperial Beach 12" were composed exclusively from site recordings made during street protests against the Free Trade Area of the Americas and the Summit of the Americas, Quebec City, Canada, April 21 and 22, 2001."

"Ultra-Red has always been about music, but it has always been about more than music, too. The brainchild of auteur/saboteur Don Rhein and collaborator/sound molester Pablo Garcia, Ultra-Red has taken the form of dance hall parties, art installations, manifestos, books, paintings, political rallies, automobiles and who-knows-what? In this case, Rhein and Garcia have assembled a series of interviews with a transsexual firefighter into a lovely musique concrete soundscape that ranges from bouncy to frightening to simply achingly beautiful, as the words have become sounds, rhythms and, ultimately, even exquisite melodies. The CD includes a manifesto on the rights of transgendered workers. Ultra-Red has already amassed an international reputation for surprise and experiment, and FS 59 will only increase that reputation."
