<p>Most musicians out there have a hard enough time getting their music out to the world, that once it&#8217;s there you&#8217;d think they would want to make the experience as straightforward as possible.  You know, band name, album name, track listing; the whole deal.  Many artists, though, seem to thrive on making the whole process a challenge &#8212; from the music itself to the album title (how many self-titled albums does Peter Gabriel have again?), to the song titles (Sigur Ros, I&#8217;m lookin&#8217; at you).  Gordon Sharp&#8217;s <a href="http://www.cindytalk.com/">Cindytalk</a>, known for creating difficult music, released 1988&#8217;s <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_This_World_%28album%29">In This World</a></em> as two full-length LPs with the same title, with several different covers.  I imagine this led to some really interesting/confusing conversations among people talking about the album (&#8221;Man, it&#8217;s so intense and noisy!&#8221;  &#8220;What do you mean, it&#8217;s totally quiet and boring!!&#8221;).  Here at the station, it led to one of the albums being taped to the back of the other, with a big note on the front.  Not exactly elegant, but it seems to have cleared up any confusion.</p>

<td>&#8220;PLEASE NOTE: SECOND HALF OF &#8216;IN THIS WORLD&#8217; IS TAPED TO THE BACK!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Some fairly grinding noise and a good pounding beat.  Maybe someplace between Swans + Scratch Acid w/lots of feedback.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;1-1 is quiet and nice.  A few calm moments amidst the din.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;H me please &#038; then play me relentlessly.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;ROCKS DANG GOOD.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Very overrated.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The quiet alb&#8217;s a real snoozer, but the loud alb <u>ROCKS!!!</u>  Vocals are scary &#038; fuzzy in a real cool way.  Also, neat tribal-type rhythms kinda like Sav. Republic.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is devastating &#038; chilling, like Crispy Ambulance.  Put it in H.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;H please.  A <u>very</u> ambitious record reflecting KCMU musical directions.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, what they could be&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Gosh, sure is noisy in here!  I didn&#8217;t like this at first, but I can see why you all like it so.  Not sure if I like it that much after listening more.  Like Big Black meets Coil.  H is good for variety, but this could get overripe too fast.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is starting to suck wind.&#8221;</td>
