Artist description The "band" is made up of Stu Johnson + whoever else is around at the time of recording. When there are collaborators they have have a key creative role, hence I prefer to go under a band name, it's really a series of collaborations

Musical Influences Sonic Youth, GBV, Ed Kuepper, Stereolab, Quickspace, Swans, Mercury Rev, Tortoise, Palace, Pavement, Red Krayola, Pere Ubu, Birthday Party, Autechre, Boards of Canada, Underground Lovers, Silver Jews, John Coltrane, Squarepusher, Belle & Sebastian... ...

Group Members Stu Johnson + (at various times) Burkard Polster, Ole Sundsby, Nick Mariette, Julian Rodert, Mark Reid.

Instruments Mostly Guitars, knotted didgeridoo (ie a didg made out of elbows of pipe in the shape of a knot), Farfisa superbravo, Casiotone 101, anything that makes a half decent sound when you hit it, though there have been other instruments used as well (piano, clarinet, bass, drum machine ...)

Additional Info Added 11/03 - some new links have appeared to this site so I thought I'd better add something in since it's so outdated. Any mp3s left on here are pretty old & nothing new will go up. MRE are still active, but there are no recordings available at the moment. Email marxistrealestate@hotmail.com for more info.
