Listener's fatigue is an audiophile concept relating to the relative merits of a given sound reproduction system. The idea is that the ear wearies of listening sooner on a poorly performing system than it does on a high-quality one. We chose it as the title of this compilation for unknown reasons; perhaps it had something to do with our being tired of hearing what most people were listening to at the time. And this, perhaps, was offered as our remedy. All speculation aside, the present collection seems a cohesive listening experience, in spite of the variety of the works included. This ranges from the spoken word (Kathleen Yearwood) to quasi-pop (Batang Frisco) to free-from improvisation (Qwa Digs Never Parish) to cut-up (Simon Peeks) to audio collage (9digit Zip), to name just a few.
