2CD set with illustrated dream journal booklet

1993

From early childhood, Negativland member The Weatherman taped his family’s holiday gatherings on a variety of home recording equipment. As the years speed by in his house wired for sound, we mix a voyeuristic fascination for peculiar mundanities with strange broadcasting bent on escaping the familiar. This charming and peculiar double disc set is chock full of lots of Weatherman features, lots of Weatherman history and lots of Weatherman weather. It’s the definitive overview of his amazing collection of family recordings, and if you want to know the inside scoop on what makes The Weatherman tick, this is the place to start.

This is by far the most popular release in the OTE CD series, by the way, but we have no idea why. Perhaps you can explain?
