 | concept: 
 "Steven Stapleton and Colin Potter's voluntary
 three-month banishment to the icy realms of Lofoten, Norway
 has borne fruit in the form of this double album on ICR. As
 was reported, these two prime movers of experimental sound
 were sent high above the Arctic Circle May through July of
 this year, with limited recording equipment and no musical
 instruments, to record a series of audio responses to their
 harsh environment, which were then transmitted to the local
 mariner's radio station at unannounced intervals. Stapleton
 and Potter have further edited and processed the original
 broadcasts, ending up with a total of two hours of sound,
 seven lengthy tracks[...]"
 ( http://brainwashed.com/nww/ to read the following )
 
 there are sound samples here...
 
 
 ...the strange thing is that on soulseek there are two
 different tracklistings circulating, one with seven tracks
 without real titles but with dates instead ("June 15", "June
 17", "July 24"...), that's the one the "official" sources
 are providing, and one with ten tracks with real names
 ("Glacial Ecstacy", "Hectic Day", "Cracking Iceberg", "I
 Can't Speak Norwegian"...)
 
 i know that the one with dates is "volume one" so could the
 second one be volume two? or is it a fake? i can't find any
 info on it...

 | most of nurse with wounds music is challenging ambient/avant-garde/experimental .  The only two albums i
 would recommend to people who dont care for experimental
 is "Crumbduck" the stereolab collaboration and "Second
 pirate session" a double cd album with beats the entire
 time.

 | Nurse With Wound = surrealistic dadaist music : ) 
 it's pretty challenging indeed. and can differ highly from
 release to release; sometimes it's weird collages, sometimes
 dark ambient, sometimes just weird and hardly
 describable...
 
 i'd recommend "Alice The Goon", among others.

 | what are the times of the 10 track version? 
 there was a limited edition with a third disc, which could
 maybe be it. or they could be recordings someone made of the
 original radio broadcasts.
 
 i think i remember colin potter saying on the brainwashed
 eye thing saying volume 2 won't be out for a while (since so
 much stuff has come out lately) so i doubt it's that.
 
 i've been speding time with the angry eelectric fingers
 recently, it feels like your on drugs when you're not - and
 then some other beast doing something very spectacular
 although it's hard to say what... how nice:

 | uzim, can you recommend any other rythmic or easily digestible Nurse with wound (besides crumbduck and who can i
 turn to stereo/pirate session)  ?
 my girlfriend is a huge fan of those two albums, and i know
 there is more out there that i havent heard.

 | as i said, Alice The Goon is one of the best, and most accessible as well... first track is very rhythmic and
 almost danceable, second is half-rhyhtmic half-weird, third
 is weird dark ambient.
 
 Man With The Woman Face is also really good, like
 surrealistic lullabies for adults.
 
 Soliloquy For Lilith and Homotopy To Marie are both great
 but definitely not rhythmic; the first is six (or eight, for
 the latest edition) long bizarre drone ambient tracks and
 the second is five (four long and a short) tracks of gloomy
 minimalistic collages... some of NWW's "darkest" works.
 
 She And Me Fall Together In Free Death and An Awkward Pause
 are mixed bags, with some great easily accessible ones, some
 that require more patience, and some average ones...

 | in the name of pendanticity -- in case anyone's interested... i found out that the 10 track version is
 apparently a cdr released before the proper one before the
 project was fully realised or something.
 
 i've heard a small bit of it and it is very similar to the
 cds, different edits and some other stuff.
 
 i also managed to track down a copy of the third disc - i
 don't see why it wasn't given a wider release - maybe it
 didn't fit in. but anyway it has seagulls (!). also a great
 track featuring the almost raw material.
 
 and might i add, for rythm Rock n Roll Station is quite a
 safe bet i think.
 
 also a worthy bump for nww.
