REVIEW:
The Wire- August 2003 issue 234 as part of
the fascinating "New wierd Amercia"
article: "Selected highlights from their extensive
visual archive are now on a video released
on the Qbico label. It's a fantastically
revealing document, with surreal drug goofs,
mock arguments and prank setpieces, spliced
with guerrilla theatre and some powerful
live footage. Spanning their entire career,
the footage includes early sound art pieces
involving microphones used as lassos, and
Pigpen-era Greatful Dead-type Country funk
reinterpreted by an orchestra with a post-fire
music mindset." David Keenan
10 videocassette only, numbered from I to X, available in special hand-made covers SOLD OUT

Rec. at Analog Shock Club, Rochester, NY, Jan. 26, 2002.
Incredible and not to be missed complete
50 min. live set (some excerpts issued on
Side B of the "Conspiracy Nation"
LP), shot on two cameras and in the end mixed
together to create a very psychedelic effect
(along with others "effect" such
as slow motion, distorted images, ect...).
A rare chance to see such an amazing Ensemble
live (which unfortunatly by now, have never played
outside to US)and capture them in full glory !!! See Mr. Doyle blowing his down-and-dirty
sax, "singing" other space "songs"
, playing his flute.... or Mr. Wilcox furious
drums playing... what a pleasure (mastered on Sony Premium with hardbox) !!!
10 videocassette only, numbered from I to X, with an extra piece
from the regular ed. "Love Ship" SOLD OUT

CONvideos collect some of the most adventurous and amazing single videos produced
by CON in the seventies, more than 15 videos had been selected and
taped from original master tapes for a better
image and sound quality (mastered on Sony
Premium with hardbox) ! They range from CON
street performances, mime show, light show,
surreal images, psychedelic motifs, ect... with unreleased "dramatic electronic
music" as soundtrack ! These videos
are available here officially for the 1st
time, as some of these single videos used
to float around the bootleg market in the
past with bad quality.
