Festive Deal Flutter | War Games 95-99 | 6xcd Box Save Big: 85% Off [nqj7zimr]

‘War Games 95-99’ is the definitive and extended collection of the ultimate teenage midwestern noise band notorious for live shows using a full desktop computer on stage. 

While there were predecessors to the stage, Flutter was the first mostly computer generated noise to emerge from the harsh noise subculture dominated by pedals in the 90's tape scene. Unapologetically domestic, Flutter blended seemingly wholesome midwest extracurricular activities with a soundtrack of suburban angst and placed all of this in a psycho-melancholic explosion of blinded circuitry, twisted band-room freak out and full on bedroom ultra-creativity that only invention as necessity could birth. 

Flutter have remained a project for those in-the-know and are the phoenix who rose on the elegant and sinister Elsie And Jack And Chair CD compilations, splits on Xerxes and Bob Marinelli's distorted vision records and who were poised for graduation on the Groundfault album that should have been, here they rise from smoke of the 90’s and now firmly rest the trophy of history on the mantle of today's noise-americana. 

Brutal and fun - this 6xcd collection is based around their proper full length cassette - war games - and extends into obscurities such as tracks from splits with Âmes Sanglantes, Napalm Jesus, material for Joe Lombardo and essentially unheard relics of live recordings, the mysterious ‘Self Abuse tape’ for Patrick O'Neil's distribution and the fabled and notorious unreleased Groundfault recordings full length cd!
