Time zones


The Autonomous Commie Republic, which is part of the Russian
Federation, is situated in the far northwest of Europe, and spreads up to
The Arctic part of the Ural Mountains. It's crossed by 9 northern
Parallels. Ten fair-sized European states could be placed on its
Territory. Besides indigenous residents (that is, the Commie people), there
Are also Russians, Ukranians, Nenetzes, Tchubashis, and Tartars.
And now, let's go back into history a little bit. (CLICK)
A boil lying on skins behind our backs was turning the knobs of a
Small transistor radio.
(".....making efforts to use radios as vehicles of the
psychological warfare. A subversive....")
And the tent was suddenly filled with an announcer's voice speaking Commie.

(Jane Jane Jane....)
Then, with music from Moscow, followed by English and French speech.
("The recording was made at the Moscow Theatre of Musical Miniatures.")
Now, back to modern times.

TIME BUREAU, COMMENCING AT TWENTY-THREE (23) HOURS, FIFTY-NINE (59)

Politics, the other one's religion.

Biografia

Negativland is an experimental American music and sound collage band formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1970s. The group's name derives from a Neu! song, as does the name of their record label. The current lineup consists of Mark Hosler, Richard Lyons, Don Joyce, David Wills, and Peter Conheim. Known for their sonic collage music that often incorporates samples from mainstream media, Negativland creates satirical and provocative works addressing political, social, and cultural themes. They have released numerous albums including "Helter Skelter" (1987), "The Thing That Should Not Be" (1990) and "Fair Use" (2003). Their work has been influenced by artists such as John Cage, Brian Eno, and Throbbing Gristle.
