SY Direct to disc release
April 15, 2005

I have been asked about this record alot, and finally, there's more information in this article from The Age!

"Last June, four members of legendary New York band Sonic Youth recorded direct to disc at Corduroy for what is being released as a limited-edition double vinyl album.
Only 400 copies of the four-track instrumental record are being pressed by Saucerlike, a small Melbourne label run by Corduroy employee Mark Nelson."

I can't stress this enough, but this website has nothing to do with the australian record label Saucerlike... so please don't ask me for copies! I wouldn't mind one myself, though.

Tks Mika!

Sonic Youth, initially comprising of guitarist / vocalists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, guitarist / bassist / vocalist Kim Gordon and drummer Richard Edson, were formed in New York City in 1981. A product of the No-Wave music scene of the late 1970s, the group had their roots in abrasive, experimental music, with Moore and Ranaldo having previously worked with the experimental composer Glenn Branca. The band were joined in 1985 by drummer Steve Shelley, and have now recorded 14 albums together, as well as many side and solo projects. Their work has been consistently challenging and innovative, and they are widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their time.
