Negativland Studio Recordings | Other Seeland Releases Over The Edge Compact Discs | Over The Edge Tapes Negativland Books | Videos | Negativland "Stuff" As we resurrected our own Seeland label in the wake of leaving SST Records, a bunch of unknown groups of noisemakers and musicians began to approach us about putting their CDs out on our label. Having a great distributor (Mordam Records, in Sacramento), but no money to press CDs with- even our own- and having just left a label in large part because we fundamentally disagreed with the industry-standard practice of the label owning a band's record 'in perpetuity', this presented a problem: How to help weird bands doing weird interesting stuff, without financing or owning their work? Our answer was to offer a Seeland catalog number and access to our distribution to those few bands that both a) we really liked, and b) could afford to finish and press their own CDs. Seeland keeps just a few percent of sales to cover the cost of handling the money; the rest goes to the bands, and all rights to the music stay with the artist.

THE 180-Gs - 180d'Gs to the Future (CD)* Is it possible that a Detroit doo-wop/gospel group could have created the first and only "greatest hits" collection of Negativland... via doo-wop/gospel covers?? Yes, it's true. From "Christianity is Stupid" to "Car Bomb" and "I Am God". This record is NOT NEGATIVLAND, but an incredible, worshipful simulation!

TWINK - The Broken Record (CD) Mike Langlie's toy piano band Twink is back with their debut release on Seeland - but without the toys.

The tunes put a new spin on some old favorites, and take some familiar bedtime stories in bizarre directions. It's by turns charming, hilarious, perverse, and montaged into a crazy-quilt collage in the form of terrific little ditties. You've never heard kiddie music like this before! USA/Canada - $13.50.
