Luther Blisset is the man! Oh wait, maybe not? Which man? What was my point? Oh yeah, he's this metropolitan situationist figure that exists in multiple places, multiple times, multiple people, multiple versions. Soccer player, anarchic hero, split-personality, striker, missing person, protester, phone pranker, Monty Cantsin, mail-artists, performance-artist, me, hacker, radio speaker, radio listener, you, publisher, everybody, webmaster, writer, bus ticket scammer, musician and many other things at once... The mind-invading culture-filtering concept was brought to mainstream media's attention in '99 after several years of successful underground guerrilla, but after that year, with few exceptions (such as Baroni's record) I haven't heard much about or from the Debordian character... If you are reading this from Italy you might wanna buy the Castelvecchi published books "Lasciate che i Bimbi" (let that the kids) or "Mind Invaders" or read up on him from the web (houndred of websites available for that). Basically he's everyone and everywhere and he is those who realize they're being fucked with every day on this planet and who want fuck back, oops, I meant, fight back... With the same philosophy (anyone can be anybody and without names there is no control) Luther Blisset takes his new shot at making music on WoT4 with "The Open Pop Star", an album that could have been made by anybody, that is out of control, has no names and where all styles of music are just music. If you work in a record store and you have to file this under something or choose the appropriate shelf, then that's your problem, good luck. For the rest of you with different sucky 9-to-5 day-jobs I suggest you quit your job after you used your job's DSL line to download some mp3's so you know what you're dealing with, because this is the kind of record that you really buy for political reasons or because you like to challenge yourself, certainly not because you like the music, unless of course you like everything from radio pranks to native chants, from folk music to electronic music, from talking macintosh dialogues to speeches about anything and in any language, from techno to synth-pop, from lounge to experimental, from weird to wired...For a complete picture (it'll still be fuzzy) go buy WoT4's collection of Luther Blisset audio documents, all collected for your very convenience in a digipack CD with 20 tracks and 20 pages of booklet. Ya can't go wrong. In fact it is one of the best documents about LB's multi-fold production in the field of music throughout the years.And because everything is being redefined as we speak make sure you take every guy who tells you his name is Seppuku extremely seriously. You owe it to yourself, you owe it to the future generations that will live in a world that is 10 degrees warmer and with a ozone hole as big as Europe and Africa... let me rephrase that: as big as Bush's idiocy (yep, we're definitely talking bigger than at least four continets here!). Don't just reclaim the streets, reclaim the friggin planet already!I could go on and on with this review but then I'd have to pay too much for bandwidth...
