- The second
in the R&D series of releases from Disinformation.
The pioneering
Disinformation* Research and Development series continues with
the release of R&D2 on Ash International [R.I.P.]
- a new CD of geomagnetic, space physics and atmospheric-electrical
recordings. Featuring the sounds of phenomena produced by electrical
and magnetic storms, solar coronal mass ejection, tropical and
local lightning, and also featuring contributions from Oubliette,
Network South East, Eurostar, the Central Electricity Generating
Board and the Royal Navy - R&D2 represents a unique approach
to maximising the creative potential of radio science. Disinformation
publications have been favourably compared to the explorations
of submariner Jacques Cousteau.
R&D2 cover
artwork is derived from the Antiphony Video Supplement - images
from the Disinformation 1997 UK Tour - the ruined remains of the
RAF Air Defence Experimental Establishment acoustic early-warning
system.

Rows
of books around me stand,
Fence
me in on either hand;
Through
that forest of dead words
I
would hunt the living birds -
So
I write these lines for you
Who
have felt the death-wish too,
All
the wires are cut, my friends
Live
beyond the severed ends.
[Louis
MacNiece, Epilogue]
