Fischerspooner - #1

It’s our 45th episode of Broken Records and we’re looking into the curious case of Fischerspooner, the electroclash duo and performance troupe formed in 1998 in Chicago after Warner Fischer and Casey Spooner met at school. #1 is the first full-length album by electroclash duo Fischerspooner released in 2001. It originally received a limited run on International DeeJay Gigolo Records, and contained "The 15th", a cover of a Wire song from their album 154. #1 has been re-pressed several times with a different track listing. The title "Fucker" was also censored on subsequent releases, either as "!@*$%#", "*#!@¥¿", or "*#!@Y?". "Sweetness", "L.A. Song" and "Megacolon", all from the re-issue were originally released together on an EP titled #1 Supplement that was discontinued in time for the first re-issue. A limited edition pressing from 2003 also included a DVD with several remixes, a documentary, as well as four videos—"Sweetness", "The 15th" and two versions of "Emerge". The album itself is … ok!?? Certainly not your usual Broken Records fare, so why oh why is #1 (working title ‘Best Album Ever’) in our hatful of shit? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
