Recorded in 1992 by Stewart Walden, stalwart of the A Band and frequent collaborator with Neil Campbell, and originally just dubbed for friends. Rescued from the vaults by Neil Campbell, who has long held it as one of his favourite recordings, and reissued on his new Music Mundane imprint. Around the time of this recording, Stewart was also cutting the baffling Durian Durian" LP for Forced Exposure with Campbell, Richard Youngs and Simon Wickham-Smith, and although the approach here is more single-minded than on "Durian Durian", theres a similar level of alien invention going on. All sounds come from a multi-tracked modified cheap casio keyboard that kicks out such a range of ever-changing, seamlessly flowing gargantuan tone-spew youd be forgiven for thinking Walden was working with some new twenty-first century stochastic software program. The original cassette was a full C90, which is accelerated by the wonders of a Neil Campbell split-stereo mix to 46 minutes of pure bilateral brainiac stimulant." -Music Mundane.

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.
This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).
Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.
Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.
Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).
So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
