I keep forgetting to mention RISIBLE, the little lo-fi electronics + vox project myself & Simon from the Ceramic Hobs etc have put together. Simon has made 33 CDR copies (I think) & probably distributed them all by now. My copies are gone too, but if you lobby him (try the Oz Oz Alice Project in my firends), he might do some more. Here is a nice review of it (fair to middling on some other related projects!) from our pal Joe of Bidoche Musique...
---------------------
Ship Ahoy!

I met up with an American bloke yesterday, one who had seen the insides of prisons, drug rehabilitation, physical ruptures, isolation and death wishes. I gave him a copy of Risible. He needed it. Quite the Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. "I'm a good person". Sure.

Listened many times to this album and find it quite amazing. The words and lyrics of DJ Powergen Course (who I now realize is Simon!) are top notch. The beatbox can never replace the drum lad, but for the articles on hand, do a neat job. The other day, I listened to Oz Oz Alice - first outing (the zip that I acquired after perusing the Blackpool Bands forum). No comparison. Lo-fi noise, squashed words, roundabout.

Quite strange that Oz Oz Alice and Heffalump Trap both have the same personnel albeit different "managers". What a way to go. The Haddenham One & DJ Powergen Course team are the future. Oz Oz Alice doesn't cut it with me, at least until I could see them live and compare to the formidable Ceramic Hobs.

Don't be offended - take it like MEN!

your friend in arms,
Joe Fleury (Bidoche Musique)

Risible's Smith Research pressing of 33 only is now gone, surely Man Have Wank/Landlord could reissue it, otherwise it'll be lo-rate mp3 whenever I get round to uploading all the out-of-print Smith Research stuff to the blog as per thousands of requests (well, one bloke in eastern Europe)

Joe: the first Oz Oz Alice will get a separate cassette release, professionally mastered, on the Total Vermin label, I'll make sure you get one...it sure isn't a 'catchy' or 'accessible' record but I believe it's the album I am happiest with yet, with typical perversity.

Dunno if I can be bothered to do any CDRs of the Risible...I have given in to the fact that I hate making copies of things, at the very least until I upgrade my hardware at some point. Look forward to the online version though :-)
