Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Long awaited re-issue of Negativland's legendary 1983 difficult listening conceptual suburban epic. Over three years in the making, and with ten-thousand-million-billion analog tape splices, this insanely cut-up and uniquely weird release remains the hands down favorite of many fans of Negativland's work. This re-issue comes with a 60-minute bonus DVD of Negativland's "NO OTHER POSSIBILITY" video, which was made in the mid-80s.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great example of early Negativland, September 27, 2007
By Barry Gilbert (Boulder, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was their third release and the first one I ever heard. I remember playing this many times on my late-night radio show. The original LP came with a "Car Bomb" bumper sticker, which spent many years on the back of my 1978 Mercury station wagon.

There are two actual songs on this release: Four Fingers, a cute little folk tune that counts fingers, and the car bomb track, which was very timely in the early 80's. The centerpiece of the album is the two-part title tracks, a wonderful travelogue through Contra Costa County, CA, narrated by The Weatherman and filled with inside jokes. This is a perfect extension of the work Negativland did on their "Over the Edge" show on KPFA in Berkeley; lots of samples (not called samples back then, of course), lots of stream of consciousness, and a giddy sort of experimentation with radio and recorded music/comedy. They picked up where Firesign Theater left off.

This and their next one, Escape From Noise, were their best.
