V/A-ORANG-UTAN, CD, 2002, UK

Scarcely available even at the time of it's release (absolutely nil in the way of stateside distribution in any event), this rather essential compilation of bands/
artists who are either Irish, Ireland-residing or are in collaboration here with Irish artists culls tracks together from several significant parties, most notably Nurse With Wound (though in this instance more accurately Nurse With Wound/Current 93) who turn in a 10+ minute alternate version of Die, Flip or Go To India (from Bright Yellow Moon), a collaboration between Volcano The Bear and King Camera thats pretty touched in the head sounding, a lengthy swath of Artificial Memory Trace's eerie electroacoustics, Aranos' jaunty gypsy jazz mutation and Daniel Figgis' wispy Frippertronic-sounding mindwash to name just a few.
