shane edge - hose adjusting

shane edge. shaun egg, chain leg, shawn love, evil sleg...regardless of the moniker, he has maintained a terrific output of taser factory art for a number of years. definitely multifaceted, he is most often recognized for his work with visual art, sound-making, and bar tending.
mr. edge recently returned to the sunny shores of colorado to escape the incests of the midwest, and recapture his eagle spirit. shawn and i have consistently collaborated together since the land before time, and geographical distance has never really slowed that down. so the future is same as we thought it was.
there are images of shim's paintings available online, but i can't recall where...but that doesn't matter right now. this entry is about these two full length albums, which are now available online.
shan's audio products cant really be summed in the time i wanna spend writing this. simply, it is vocal tape manipulation, free / stream of consciousness composition. his voice knows few bounds, and has many characters built-in, which he decisively calls into action at will. Egge's recordings have garnered both amazing and terrible reviews from the music press and friends alike. i like it. but then again, i also like non-rhythmic noise and phil collins and most things inbetween.
it has always amazed me at how the most universally likable person i have ever known can produce some of the more potentially unlikable sound products you can find in the course of a day. you be tha judge:
