now, i got 448 deathless days on SST what must be 10 years ago for a snip, and i still think it's pretty cool, what with it's v.creative use of then rather limited sampling tools, prototortoisisms, and wonky prog concrete stuff. the only stuff i heard by the man since is guest spots with the halo benders or doing the stuff that made pigeonhed nearly OK (as opposed to just plain execrable, which is what i'm guessing they'd sound like without him) - but i noticed he had a recent solo cd out and wondered if it stood up to the older stuff? can you help??

haven't heard it, but you have you checked out Pell Mell?

see also Bananafish issue #2 for a great interview with Fisk regarding his early cassettes.

I haven't heard anything else by him but his relatively recent Subpop solo cd was fine by me. Kinda wierd broken tape sounds run rampant.

There's also a great collection of various eighties pieces out on K, I seem to recall...yeah, Over and Thru the Night, which I witter on about here. The opening "I Wish I Were Dead" is simple, funny and completely devestating.

i hated 'over and thru the night' on first listen and some of my friends still make fun of me for having it, but i like most of his guesting and i would be interested in some of his more 'accessible' work

"999 levels of undo" is pretty spastic and stands up to a lot of recent drill & bass... I enjoyed it.

I heard a really great Steve Fisk song on an old, old Sub Pop cassette tape from the early 80s. It was when they more more a zine than a record label, I think. The chorus was "Love is in the Air." Has any of that old stuff that wasn't on the compilation CD been published since?

eight years pass...

Ned's review of 448 Deathless Days is quoted in the latest You Don't Know Mojack pod, along with a lengthy Fisk interview.
