     *Ripper's note: Disc 2 includes two video clips plus a multi-
     media history of the band, not included here.


     A new recording by the band that pioneered laptop ensembles
     over twenty years ago coupled with an historic overview of
     their recordings, unreleased tracks and video clips of the
     band in performance. Functioning in the West Coast tradition
     of composer as instrument builder - redefining music from the
     ground up - The Hub makes music using electronic and digital
     systems of their own devising. A natural extension of the late
     1970's ensemble the League of Automatic Music Composers, the
     group has performed worldwide over the past two decades and
     continues to break new ground in the ever-growing laptop
     medium.

     This is the definitive document of this important west coast
     collective and contains recordings covering three decades of
     activity. Most of this material is being issued here for the
     first time, much of it has been unavailable for years, and all
     of it is some of the most imaginative and compelling
     electronic music ever made. This specially priced 3 CD set
     includes a deluxe booklet with photos, technical diagrams and
     written testaments by group members and collaborators giving
     new insights and historical perspective to one of the most
     infamous electronic ensembles since Musica Elettronica Viva.
