Finally from me... The Nurse With Wound 'The Surveillance Lounge' CD arrived and it's a belter. I think really strong one but then I'm well into NWW at the moment. This has some awesome surrealist sonic collage and some totally sinister moments. There's one point there is a wicked tribal beat with like some fucking weird hurdy gurdy crazy vocal chant type thing. I struggle for words really. Lots of sinister dark moods with creepy voices and such like. There's one point where it gets quite noisy and I just cannot imagine how Stapleton and co are achieving the sounds but they're bloody great. Brill collage artwork from Babs Santini. Recommended.

In 2007 NWW were invited by the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation via In Famous to perform a live soundtrack at La Cite de la Musique in Paris to the 1992 Murnau film, “Der Brennende Acker”. The new sounds that were generated and musical parts recorded for the film became rudimentary building blocks for “The Surveillance Lounge”. Nurse With Wound never fail to surprise and just when you maybe thought you could second guess how this might sound, they completely shift the direction. In contrast to the last release “Huffin’ Rag Blues”, this release focuses on the darker side of Nurse With Wound. Whilst keeping a fresh contemporary feel, it nods towards some of the older, more sinister material. Current 93’s David Tibet is featured on the disc along with the mainstay of Steven Stapleton and Andrew Liles.

Tracklisting: 1. Close To You 2. The Golden Age Of Telekinesis 3. The Part of me Which is That Part In You is Now Dead 4. Yon Assassin is my Equal.
