B. Electrical Opinions
C. From The Sun To Your Bedroom, From Your Bedroom To The Sun

LP's are MINT- (I consider all new lathe discs as mint- because the nature of lathe discs is that some surface noise will be present, this is normal to the process of making the discs)/Cover and insert are MINT.

CMR said:
Nest is a moebius strip consisting of NZers Andrew Scott (mostly guitar) and Nigel Wright (mostly laptop). Scott plays guitar which Wright uses as raw material for creating real-time sound environments in which the guitar can move, the chosen path of the guitar laying the groundwork for the next sonic environment created by the computer to which the guitar reacts to in turn. Hence Nest attempts to circumvent traditional modes of improvisation, by creating a human feedback loop in which the players play not so much their instruments, but rather each other – a loop which finds the players relating not TO each other, but rather THROUGH each other. Ever inwards. Nest is concerned with principals of balance and dissolution of the individual ego. Nest attempts to work as a unified organism, dissolving the contributions of the individual into an amorphous evolving sound object. Nest sets processes in motion and lets them run their course. Nest trusts sound completely.

Nest has previously self-released collaborations with MHFS and Tim Coster in small CDR editions. This LP is their first release as an unaccompanied duo. Wright lives in Auckland, New Zealand where he performs solo and in the duo Cathedrals (with Tim Coster). Scott currently resides in Los Angeles, California where he works in the duo Metal Rouge with Helga Fassonaki. He works solo under the name Un Ciego and in the duos Golden Krone (with Rohan Evans) and Huzun (with Tim Coster).

Nigel Wright bio: Nigel Wright has been creating audio for over 8 years and is known for his spacious, expansive sound pieces. NW uses his laptop to process guitar and tape loop source sounds, creating dense, tonal drones. Mainstay of Auckland experimental performance hub 'The Wine Cellar', NW has been involved with a number of festivals in Auckland, such as alt.music (who he also curates for occasionally). Further afield, he played at Liquid Architecture 2007 in Brisbane and Sydney. Collaboration with Andrew Scott (Golden Krone, Un Ciego, Metal Rouge) is the mobiustrip Nest. NW also frequently collaborates live with Tim Coster (Plains). NW has also worked with audio/visual pieces with his first work premiering at the 2006 Auckland International Film Festival, in an audio-visual feedback loop entitled 'Release', based on video work supplied by San Franciso artist Aaron Coyes.

From The Wire (UK) - October 2006:
"New Zealand's Nigel Wright is part of a loose conglomerate of artists, circling around the CMR label, who have found new ways to approach computer music. Wright works with big, weighty chunks of sound and his palette is all oppresive greyscale and flickering hints of kaleidoscopic colour. He uses laptop to weather and and rust his guitars strings, ricocheting hefty down-strummed chords through cavernous banks of effects and then watching the overtones drift in the distance, like trailing headlights captured on polaroids. Sometimes Wright's music suggests the early releases on German techno label Chain Reaction if they were stripped of all rhythm; on the evidence of Tapir, however, I wouldn't be surprised if soon he was spoken of in the same breath as Tim Hecker and Christian Fennesz."
