Shapeship by Ergo Phizmiz

The music industry is now a Neo-liberal fallacy that is best ignored. Start to release music in new shapes, kids, and tell the music industry where to stick it. Create your own forms of distribution and sharing. Don't exchange, share - that is how cultures move forward. Copyright has locked culture down and only serves the interests of millionaires. Ah, how fooled you all are by the Neo-liberal nightmare!

Shapeship is a shape-shifting album that grows over time. If you would like some Shapeship on cassette, send us £15 or more, drop us a line with your track selection (c90 length) and a deluxe, handmade item with handcrafted one-off artwork will be sent your way.

The point of music is not to make money, the point of music is to make dreams.
