Adjust the terminology - Scattered Order
Scattered Order are proud to announce the release of their new recording “Adjust the terminology”, a co-production between Austrian label Klanggalerie and the band's own Rather be Vinyl label.
2009 saw the release of the live CDr “SO” where original members Mitch Jones and Michael Tee joined forces to trample some old tunes and weld up some new. Quickly realising the exciting sound possibilities, recording started in February 2010 with the addition of Craig Robertson and the assistance of Dru Jones. The result is a mix of deleted technology and computers held together with fuzz guitar, TV dinner samples and a sense of humour. Final mixes were completed by old label mate Shane Fahey at Megaphon studios.
Operating from the other side of the wire for over 30 years, this new release finds the band continuing their exploration of music making possibilities and refining their take on tune/noise.
