The PhonoStatic regulars are generally present; X.Y. Zedd springs forth with three pieces; The Tape-beatles offer up two. Son of Spam sumits a memorable opening track, and Semantics Could Vanish appear in the guise of yet another slightly altered project name (beginning much earlier in the decade as "Two Dogs in Paris"). Plucked directly from the international mail stream are works, too, by a handful of mail artists; these include Malok, I.M.I. (Pascal Uni), and MoriArty (whose 14-minute opus is the longest segment on the comp). Audio works by veteran zinesters, Petrisko, Miskowski, and Winkler, members of a triumvirate based in Arizona's urban centers, each offer up one of their audiotape musings.
