This MP3-mix/podcast is excellent -

"Stones Throw is dropping the anthology The Minimal Wave Tapes in January - a collection of underground DIY electronic music from North America and Europe in the late 1970s and 80s. The founder of the Minimal Wave record label Veronica Vasicka put together this 40-minute mix which includes a couple tracks by artists who are on the anthology, several who are not, and some tracks she's just really into right now."

Yeah Ness , a surprise choice for release by Stone's !
Veronica was also a co founder of East Village Radio from what I understand.
She deserves a good up.

Not normally the sort of stuff I listen to, but I saw that Fact magazine article and I am now officially intrigued. Think I'll grab that Minimal Wave compilation

There's a MW thing at 14tracks.com this week as well
