Record/flexi-disc abuser A.M.K. returns with a new full length disc with 29 tracks designed for random play on your CD player, in the same manner as that recent Bizarre Uproar disc on Housepig that we just listed a few weeks ago. A.M.K. has always stood out in the American noise scene for his focus on using vinyl records and primarily flexi-discs to create confusing montages of sound, chopping up the records and flexis into sections and then recombining them into strange new forms and played back on regular turntables. RRR released a 10" titled Montage that is probably one of AMK's best known releases, but it's been awhile since I've heard something new from the longrunning project, who started out cutting apart flexi-discs way back in 1986.

Troniks has released AMK's latest album Super Panoramic Stereo Sound 5000 in a limited edition of 500, in a black and white sleeve that uses classic phonographic design imagery. When these 29 tracks are played back in random order, they create a tense collage of chopped up pop music, big band music, brutal low frequency feedback rumble and distorted noise, bits of vinyl hiss and crackle, looped voices, looped bits of unrecognizeable rock music that is morphed into blurts of hypnotic drone rock, vicious dronescapes built from white noise and tribal percussion loops, and more. Half of the tracks are untitled; the other half are named after famous slasher movie locations ('Haddonfield', 'Crystal Lake') or more random subjects. Obviously, this is meant to be listened to as a single piece of sound art, and it's a really cool patchwork of Dadaist-plunderphonic sonic fuckery that goes from surreal to sinister and back again.
