No-Neck Blues Band – Letters From The Serth

here is the info file from Indietorrents

The No-Neck Blues Band, also known as NNCK, is a seven-member free-form improvisational musical collective from New York City. Formed in 1992, the original band was of eight members (until John Fell Ryan left to join noise group, Excepter), and has practiced weekly in a space in Harlem since. Membership includes Dave Nuss, Keith Connolly, Dave Shuford, Jason Meagher, Pat Murano, Matt Heyner, and Michiko.

Members of NNCK have been involved in numerous side-projects and off-shoots, including Angelblood, Eye Contact, Izititiz, K. Salvatore, Enos Slaughter, Suntanama, Egypt is the Magick #, Test, Coach Fingers, and Under Satan’s Sun.

Along with their many releases on their own label, Sound@One (or s@1, as it often appears), NNCK has released albums on Ecstatic Yod, New World of Sound, 5RC &, recently, locust music. Singles have been released on Dry Leaf Disks (UK), New World of Sound, and Ecstatic Peace. Their first studio album was Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones but Names Will Never Hurt Me, produced by Jerry Yester on John Fahey’s Revenant Records after a particular interest on Fahey’s part. This was followed by Qvaris on 5RC, and Embryonnck, a collaboration with the German band Embryo released on Staubgold Records. The most recent releases by the band are Nine for Victor, a recording from a live performance in Quebec & a 2007 deluxe reissue of the band’s privately issued "Live at Ken’s Electric Lake" originally released a decade earlier. The band is currently at work on their first full studio engineered recording to see release in 2008 on Chicago’s Locust Music

From forced exposure:

2nd No Neck Blues Band CD on Sound @ One. It’s a bit of sequel to the their monolithic double CD Letters From The Earth, as it was recorded exactly one year to the day later (Orthodox Easter, 1997), at the same location — on the roof of their building in Chinatown in the afternoon. Its only a single CD this time because as you’ll hear at the end, its starts raining. It features the regular NNCK crew, plus their newest member, the enigmatic Japanese dancer/icon, Michiko. Cool and oblique packaging that doesn’t go out of its way to tell you the artist name or catalog # or anything mundane like that."
