With five scorching singles plus an indigestible, side-long something or other, you might consider this nmperign Twisted Village LP to be their White Light/White Heat.  No one will argue with you.  Here's the breakdown:

Side One: nmperign + doerner/beins.  Is it a waste of time to say that none of the instruments in this group sound the way they were meant to?  Shall we make comparisons with electronic music?  Perhaps we will simply mention that these five pieces come across a bit like self-assembling sound machines, and it's no doubt that if Marcel Duchamp had a radio show, he'd have spun this side pretty often.  You'll likely find yourself smiling, and you probably won't know why.   

Side Two: nmperign.  Are you sad because you wore out your LP of Helmut Lachenmann's "Gran Torso"?  Well, dry your eyes!  nmperign is now providing you with a side-long scratch of silence that's sure to keep your ears cocked forward.  Just like a couple 'a Cosmo Vitellis, nmperign gets involved in some sticky situations without ever forgetting what's important to them.  Play this side until it's smooth and shiny to find out what that is.
