(IA 106) With a receiver in hand, Wobbly captures happy bits of commercial radio and emerges with the new extreme in attention deficit disordered pop. Playful electronic bursts with enough warped groove to keep the kids momentarily humored, Jon Leidecker (aka Wobbly) structures thousands of sound fragments into hyper rhythmic minatures for this information saturated 3" disc. Friendly and knowledgeable radio salespeople announce the genre and target demographic of each track as it begins. But this disc isn't another snide critique of corporate broadcasting, but instead horrifyingly indistinguishable from actual pop music. Wobbly's solo work is a different kettle of fish entirely, moving in ear-blinkingly unpredictable and invigorating directions, expanding the very definition of 'super-music.' With a host of notable ongoing collaborative projects and an ever expanding solo discography, Wobbly is riding on the verge of his own idiosyncratic fame. In 2002 watch also for releases on Phthalo and Tigerbeat6. please see the illegal art webshop for ordering information mp3s from Playlist: track 3, track 5 and track 6 Wobbly also appears on the Illegal Art compilations: Extracted Celluloid and bRiCoLAge #1. the bricolage track is a remix of Steev Hise's Original (full mp3). in the other labels webshop section you will find Wobbly's Regards (Alku), Wild Why (Tigerbeat6), the collaborative Minneapolis Summit (Staalplaat), plus compilation appearances on TOYWAR:lullabies (etoy), un tributo to james t. russell (Alku), and Sound Unseen 2001 (Sound Unseen).
