Trent Marden of The Holy Soul joins the writers and talks to Sydney’s most prolific yet most unknown musician, Lobsterman (98 albums and counting), a man who makes Billy Childish sound lazy. Part three of the Jamie Leonard interview (he’s the Mu Mesons guy - the man who gave a floating cast of Sydney's mentally disabled a musical outlet in the '80s) is interesting reading - especially his angst about working for noise merchants SPK when they achieved a measure of mainstream profile.

This issue’s reviews lean towards grindcore and noise bands that ain't my bag but that’s a reflection of the editor’s tastes so you get fair warning. It's still a great read and a bargain at $A9 a copy at any enlightened bricks and mortar record store.
