State of the Union 2

State of the Union 2, Atavistic (1999)
The second volume (including reissue of the tracks from the original 1982 vinyl release) of Elliott Sharp’s great ongoing project in which he invites exponents of an amazing cross-section of the contemporary music scene to contribute works that must obey one rule only: each piece lasts one minute. The artists “censor” themselves by limiting their expression to an almost unnaturally short format. All proceeds of the operation are donated to the National Coalition Against Censorship.
