The experimental Bay Area sound manipulators combine one of their more entertaining cut-and-paste CDs of recent years with a book examining fair use and copyright issues. Also included is a whoopee cushion.

Part book, part CD, this latest effort from the Bay Area collective was inspired by a trip to an auto junkyard. The jokes, satire, and subversion found in previous releases is absent this time around, instead replaced by a collection of letters and writings found in the auto wrecks presented in a 64-page full-color book, and, on the CD, a lyric- and melody- free noise assault that, as the band suggests, is the sound of their studio being destroyed in a car crash.

This is the debut release from the collaboration between from Bishop Nehru and MF Doom.

Jazz pianist Neil Cowley's latest release includes a strings group and guitarist Leo Abrahams.

This compilation contains 23 tracks from his short stint under the Bang Records, where he had such hits as Solitary Man, Kentucky Woman, I'm a Believer, and Red, Red Wine.
