Following the aborted project for a second Bladder Flask album, scheduled for 1981, some forty years later, Richard Rupenus approached Steven Stapleton to use fragments of old recordings he’d unearthed from “Bladder Flask”, an invitation that Stapleton accepted, and rather than simply remixing or reworking existing Bladder Flask tracks, Steve Stapleton and Andrew Liles have succeeded in reinforcing Nurse With Wound and Bladder Flask’s sense of the absurd in this new opus “Backside”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rotorelief","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50467006021963,"sku":"2219055","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":56170392518987,"sku":"R9177-0722","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/nww_Backside_Front_copy_1e36f68e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727334157"},{"product_id":"huffin-rag-blues-1","title":"Huffin Rag Blues","description":"\u003cp\u003eNurse with Wound’s album Huffin’ Rag Blues is unique in NWW’s discography. Stapleton teams up with composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Liles, his co-creator of musical terrorism, to tackle the exotica and lounge genres, crushed into a cacophonous mess. Long-time NWW friends Colin Potter and Matt Waldron are also on board. Blues, jazz, crime films, bachelor pads and soap opera music are processed and discarded, then chopped up and recycled in a mix that contains a ton of space, but also overflows with dynamic tension, hilarious asides, sexually suggestive poetry and a certain rock \u0026amp; roll abandon. This is a very surprising opus for long-time fans, is like a soundtrack that could illustrate a David Lynch film It’s brilliant, maddening, hilarious and sinister enough to earn a place in any collection with a little quirkiness and eccentricity. Huffin’ Rag Blues incorporates more familiar musical elements – including instruments (played live, even), rhythm and vocals – than almost any other Nurse With Wound album to date. T\u003cimg\u003ehe album’s main concern is, as always, to create environments for lucid dreaming rather than to create music as such.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rotorelief","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50491071660363,"sku":"301442","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":56170379477323,"sku":"R8788-8453","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/NWW_Huffin_Rag_Blues_2LP_1FrontWEB.jpg?v=1766489195"},{"product_id":"gyllenskold-geijerstam-and-i-at-rydbergs","title":"Gyllenskold, Geijerstam And I At Rydberg's","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1983 period in which Gyllensköld was recorded was a fantastic time for the evolution of Steven Stapleton’s audio art. His collaborations with Diana Rogerson, Robert Haigh (Sema), David Tibet, and Thirlwell around this time elicited some of the most exciting work Nurse With Wound had yet recorded. Listen to this material and compare it to Chance Meeting and it becomes clear that in just a few years, Stapleton’s art had grown by leaps and bounds. The production quality on these tracks is remarkable, and the widening out of the NWW soundworld opened up a whole new audio toybox that Stapleton has continued to experiment with up to today. This new sound encompasses vocal experiments, vintage LPs of easy listening music, demented nursery rhymes, lateral references to disposable pop music, avant-garde jazz and minimalistic piano composition, all glued together with evocative atmospheres redolent of things unholy, troubling and perverse, but always oddly indefinable and puzzlingly misshapen. In retrospect, Gyllensköld can be seen as the beginning of the “mature” period of NWW, and thus it is an indispensible release for fans of the project. : Brainwashed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rotorelief","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Silver","offer_id":56170437181771,"sku":"R8473-9397","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/nurse-with-wound_gyllenskold_rotor0077_2LP.jpg?v=1766489798"},{"product_id":"bar-maldoror","title":"Bar Maldoror","description":"\u003cp\u003eActive for 40 years, Nurse with wound is one of the projects of Steven Stapleton, materialized in a very wide range of hysterical noise over sound collages and cut ups, abstract music, soothing drones and surreal sound paintings, and more rhythmical and mechanical pieces, always inspired by Dadaism and Futurism, Krautrock, jazz improvisation, surrealism, never losing his main goal, that is having fun and enjoying himself.He has had many collaborators, a recurrent one in the 80s and 90’s being Current 93’s David Tibet, another noticeable one still at work with him is Andrew Liles.The main line of this unpredictable sound builder is hectic and uncompromised, his point of view is that everything is possible and applies it to himself. As a youngster he wanted to be an artist so decided he was one . He is not a musician, and says he has no interest in becoming one. Surprisingly, (or not!), the love of his life is building sculptures out of recycled and reclaimed materials, building things with anything, even junk. And sounds, we are a witness to it.With these very strange juxtapositions of styles and manners, female rap music and 50s and 60s lounge music having a special top priority in Steven’s tastes, and a creativity that has no bounds no taboos, with a taste of novelty every time, Nurse with wound will no doubt continue to surprise people listening to his works, and himself, as he wants to keep it fresh every time, mostly for him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rotorelief","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":56170441113931,"sku":"R4721-8746","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/nww-bar-maldoror-rotor0080-LP_1000x1000_021d917f-268d-46bf-b22e-e61b02066e63.jpg?v=1766489906"},{"product_id":"chance-meeting-on-a-dissecting-table-of-a-sewing-machine-and-an-umbrella","title":"Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Sewing Machine And An Umbrella","description":"\u003cp\u003eOfficial reissue. New remastering vinyl of the 1979 LP by Colin Potter + “silver edition” Gatefold cover + complete Nurse With Wound list on Gatefold inner. LP, deluxe metallic gatefold. This is the long-awaited vinyl re-issue of the timeless Nurse With Wound debut release from 1979. Described by Sounds at the time as a record that “makes The Faust Tapes sound like Carousel,” nothing has changed to alter this view over the last 30 years, and to say that this work is the “Sgt. Pepper of the avant-garde” would not be hyperbole. Members include: John Fothergill (synthesizer, guitar, keyboards, wind), Heman (synthesizer, guitar, keyboards, wind), Nicky Rogers (guitar), and Steve Stapleton (synthesizer, flute, guitar, keyboards). The album’s equally unusual title is a quote from the surreal, poetic novel Les Chants de Maldoror by Uruguayan-born French author Isidore-Lucien Ducasse, written under the pseudonym Comte de Lautréamont. It has been included in the “100 Records That Set the World on Fire (While No One Was Listening)” by TheWire in 1998, and is one of the records that have had a lasting impact on avant-garde, experimental and psychedelic music.It was on this record that the famous “NWW list” appeared for the first time, featuring dozens of names of musicians and groups who had influenced Nurse With Wound – a list that now serves as a treasure map for many collectors of the genre and fans of outsider music. It’s been replicated here in the innersleeve of the gatefold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rotorelief","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":56170448814411,"sku":"R2180-5446","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/NWW_Chance-Meeting_LP_1000x1000_cbd5987d-1e3e-4595-838b-815957a08966.jpg?v=1766490024"},{"product_id":"merzbild-schwet","title":"Merzbild Schwet","description":"\u003cp\u003eMerzbild Schwet, the second album opus released in 1980, is considered one of Nurse With Wound‘s major releases, and is part of the famous “Silver Edition” on Rotorelief Records, with a luxurious chrome-plated cover in double Gatefold sleeves, and sumptuous 200g vinyl.
