Originally released as a limited edition CD for Larsen's US
tour in 2003 and then re-issued 1 year later on vinyl by
Seattle based label Enterruption Musm has since been out of
print. Finally, Important Records is making it officialy
available in a new revised and expanded version with 6 extra
tracks and brand new artwork.
Musm II includes all the non-album tracks that Larsen have
released since their first full length. No Arms,No Legs,
Identification Problems was recorded and produced by Martin
Bisi in 1996, and now almost impossible to find. It is
represented here by 2 ambient tracks and a brand new editing
of some sounds from that album.
Also included are 4 previously unreleased mixes from the album
Rever (produced by Michael Gira) the award winning soundtrack
of some short silent animated movies by Winsor
McCay,compillation tracks, collaborations with Julia Kent
(Antony and The Johnsons) and an odd version of Syd Barrett's
Vegetable Man.

*** PLEASE NOTE:
there's some confusion about the tracktitles. discogs (see
link above) claims that the track called "Rehearsal #1" is
actually the 8th, the labelsite says it's the 16th and the
sleeve tells us it's the 14th. I have decided to leave the
tracktitles as presented on the sleeve.
Please keep in mind that there's a chance that all tracks
after #8 are tagged falsely.
