krnewman buncha freckin commies, if'n you ask me. Care to explain?

An unusual experimental fusion EP, notorious for being one of the most obscure items on the Nurse With Wound list. This project led by guitarist Bradford Braden, came from Baltimore. The record is firmly in the RiO mould influenced by Henry Cow and Slapp Happy, with a hint of Zappa, a touch of Brecht/Eisler, and a lot of the Fred Frith touch to the guitar, but with an excess of modulation and processing. The rest of the "band" are unknown, but a lot of other instruments are heard, and at least a three voice vocal canon.Mama Dada 1919 (also often listed as md19) also issued a cassette called "Slow Slits" which included all the tracks here plus four extra ones, and apparently issued a CD decades later.

And the rest of the ban are not unknown, they all oddly shared the same name: Emma Goldman.

Actually Bradford Braden was not on this recording. Whilst he was involved with Mama Dada 1919 during its last breaths, he was more involved in the subsequent incarnation, md19.
