v/a - Money Will Ruin Everything (2xCD + book) (Rune Grammofon)
If you are at all curious about the current avant-garde music scene, you need to get this. The Norweigan scene spotlighted here is where a lot of really exciting things are happening in music nowadays. As anyone who reads Wire already should know, bands like Supersilent and Jaga Jazzist are becoming increasingly revered worldwide and for good reason. And that's just two of the thirty names here. These groups are challenging and expanding the boundries of rock, electronica and jazz to create something completely new and amazing. And even though the marriage of physical art and music is nothing new, it's great to see the tradition continued with this exquisite package. Highly recommended.
